The Golden State Warriors unexpectedly found themselves trailing the Sacramento Kings with six minutes to play in the game.

But the defending champions, who had been lackadaisical up to that point, found their game when they needed it most. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson both drilled three-pointers as the Warriors outscored the Kings 25-13 from that point on to win 103-94 in Sacramento on Saturday night.

Curry’s three with 42 seconds to play put the Warriors up 97-88 and served as the exclamation mark on the victory.

The defending MVP struggled on the night, shooting just 2-of-10 from three-point range. But he still had 24 points and six rebounds. Thompson recorded 18 points, while Festus Ezeli had 10 points and 12 rebounds.

The Warriors committed 18 turnovers and were sloppy throughout the game. They led 20-14 after the first quarter and 46-38 at halftime, but allowed the Kings to hang around and stay in the game.

Sacramento nearly pulled it off too, as the Kings closed a 67-58 gap down to just four at the end of the third quarter

But what’s most important is the win, which the Warriors escaped with, advancing to 7-0 and remaining the only undefeated team in the NBA.
