On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 The key to a Warrior win was this-the team needed to stop fouling, find a way to play better defense, stop making turnovers, and have their offensive weapons carry the day. All those happened as the Warriors led wire to wire to defeat the Sacramento Kings 114-97.

#2 The Kings arrived in San Francisco brimming with confidence. They had beaten the defending NBA Champions twice. Their offensive stars, Domantas Sabonos, DeAron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, and Malik Monk, all played well in the first two games. 

#3  Here’s how things went in the third period. Andrew Wiggins, Stephen Curry, and Moody helped the Warriors put 31 points on the board in the quarter. The Kings, behind Fox and Sabonis, also helped Sacramento tally 31 points. 

#4  The Warriors offense came to life as Golden State led by 18, 95-77, with a little over nine minutes left to play. Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Curry led the charge.

#5 It was a great game for the Warriors. They need to win on Sunday to even the series at two apiece. If they can achieve that goal, the Warriors will have to find a way to win on the road, as Sacramento will have the home-court advantage in two of the last three games in the series.
