Even though the new arena and a new age of Sacramento Kings basketball awaits with the start of the new downtown arena the basketball side seemed to repeat itself as the Sacramento Kings (0-0) drop the opening to the visiting Golden State Warriors (0-0) 95-77.

The Kings were in the game until the third quarter when the Kings fell behind by12 points in the quarter.  While most Kings fans thought that both DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay learned how to win by being members of Team USA Basketball, they both failed to command the game but shooting close to 33%.   Cousins brought in 20 points and Gay added 14.

Stephan Curry heated up the court as he shot 7-17, with 24 points to lead the game.

The Warriors host the L.A. Lakers on Saturday, while the Kings look to rebound on Friday night by hosting the Portland Trailblazers.
