SAN FRANCISCO – After losing four games in a row, three of them at home, the Golden State Warriors were able to grab a Dub on the Sacramento Kings as Golden State celebrated Asian Heritage Night. This home game was their second-to-last home game, so the Warriors wanted to defend their home and hopefully end their last four games with wins, starting with this one. Also, this would be Golden State’s 605th consecutive sellout. The final score on this Tuesday evening was 110-105, with the Warriors winning by 5 points.

After missing 27 straight games (February 3–April 2) due to right patellofemoral discomfort syndrome, Stephen Curry returned to the starting lineup on April 5 against Houston (the Warriors were 9–18 in those games). Curry last played in a game before April 5 on January 30 against Detroit; he left the game with 4:08 remaining in the third quarter. At 8:38 in the first quarter, Curry came off the bench in a regular-season game for the first time since March 7, 2012, against Memphis, and for the seventh time in his career (Warriors 3-4 in those games).

The Golden State roster is still hurting from the team’s injuries. The Warriors sent out Patrick Spencer, Malevy Leons, Draymond Green, De’Anthony Melton, and Brandin Podziemski as their starters. This is Golden State’s second-to-last home game, and the teams’ third time seeing each other this season. The series for this season was tied entering this game, 1-1, but now the Warriors lead the series match-up, 2-1. These two teams last faced off on January 9th, 2026, here in Chase Center at the Bay. With Golden State winning by 34 points, 137-103.

The Sacramento Kings are also in the same situation as the Warriors with injuries. The team has 8 players out due to injury. So with that, the Kings started with Precious Achiuwa, Maxime Raynaud, Daeqwon Plowden, Devin Carter, and Nique Clifford. The Kings have been eliminated from the playoffs, and is doing their best to end the season with some wins.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski got the game from the free throw line after being fouled by Kings guard Nique Clifford. After that, both of the teams would go back and forth on exchanging buckets. With the Kings and Warriors both shooting the same on the floor. Golden State Warrior Stephen Curry would come off the bench again , after this game, just being his second game returning from injury.

After the first quarter, the Kings held the lead by one point, 26-25. One thing about these two teams is that the games will always be close to a certain point. The Kings and Warriors were shooting about the same on the floor in all categories. Sacramento and Golden State’s playing style and performance were the exact same, and already there were ten lead changes.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Warriors were starting to get comfortable, seeing some shots go in, and being cautious with the ball. Sacramento shooting above 50% in their categories is keeping them in, but Golden State hit some big three-pointers to give them the momentum. Also, the Warriors’ transition and hustle were big factors on how the score was starting to change.

The Warriors went into the final minutes making five three-pointers, two of which would end up being four point play conversions by Stephen Curry. His shots from deep are what helped push the Warriors’ lead even more. By halftime, the score was 66-53, and Golden State led over Sacramento. At the moment, the Warriors were being lead by guard Stephen Curry with his 14 points, three rebounds, and going 3-of-6 from deep.

Throughout the third quarter, both teams would have a big jump in their turnovers, especially Golden State. The Warriors would go from five turnovers to 16 turnovers. However, both teams took advantage of each other’s turnovers as both teams had pick up 19 points from it. The Warriors would shoot eight three pointers, but went cold, as they only made just one of them. Golden State would just drop 19 points in the third quarter.

The Kings’ resilience and hustle were their factor on how they kept them in the game. King’s guard Killian Hayes would hit his third three-pointer of the night. With that shot going in right before the end of the third quarter, the Warriors would hold on to the lead by just four points, 85-81. Although the Kings only made two three-pointers in the third as well, Sacramento’s presence in the paint helped a lot as they had more than the Warriors in there, the Kings would have 40 points compared to the Warriors’ 34 points.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Kings were pressuring more on defense and showing more of their intensity as they were able to get within two points. By the eight minute mark, the Kings were up by two points, 91-89. The Kings were able to see more shots go in than the Warriors, and just fight for more rebounds than them when it mattered to help solidify their lead.

Entering the last three minutes of play, the score was 104-100, the Kings lead by three points. “The Battle of NorCal” never disappoints wherever its being played at, whether in San Francisco or Sacramento. As Kings and Warriors exchange three-pointers in back-to-back sequences. Warriors Brandin Podziemski would hit a 24-foot three pointer that gave Golden State the lead, and was ultimately the dagger on the Kings. After that, the Warriors would run out the clock and take the win.

Out of the nine players that Golden State played, six of them were in double digits. However, it would be De’Anthony Melton leading the team tonight with his 21 points, four rebounds, and five assists. In his second game back, Stephen Curry dropped 17 points, five rebounds, and two assists to get the Warriors’ 22nd home win this season. The Warriors would end the night with 17 made three-pointers.

The Golden State Warriors return to Chase Center on Thursday evening and will host the Los Angeles Lakers. That game will be the final home regular season game for the Warriors, so Golden State again will defend their home, and will try to get a win for Dub Nation in the home finale. The Kings and Warriors will see each other one more time, but in Sacramento this Friday on April 10th in Golden 1 Center.

Sacramento Kings podcast Barbara Mason:

  1. On March 14 the Sacramento Kings pulled an upset over the Los Angeles Clippers beating them 118-109 but Apr 5 Sunday night was a whole new ball game as the Clippers dominated in a must win for Los Angeles 138-109. The Clippers are currently in ninth place a half game behind the Trailblazers so the win Sunday night was critical for Los Angeles.

2. A number of Kings remained out for this game. Russell Westbrook remain out with a toe issue and they have listed the return of Keegan Murray as April 7 but will that happen? The Kings will see if either of them will be on the court as the season winds down.

3. The Kings did not get a whole lot from either starters nor their bench Sunday. In contrast, the Clippers Kawhi Leonard was on fire as was bench player John Collins.

4. Sacramento struggled for most of the game, they fell behind early and got blindsided in the third quarter as the Clippers really turned it on in the second half blowing the Kings out of the water. Three Kings players barely got into double figures struggling offensively.

5. With only three games left in the season the Kings will now face the Golden State Warriors Tuesday Apr 7 in San Francisco and again on Fri Apr 10 in Sacramento.

SAN FRANCISCO – It wasn’t just any other ordinary Friday night at Chase Center. In this Warriors game, the team was celebrating their Filipino Heritage Night at their last home of the month. So Golden State ended the last Friday of the month with another Dub to their nation. The Warriors would win the regular season series with a 5-point win over the Wizards, 131-126. This win is now the Warriors’ 3rd straight in a row, going 3-7 in their last 10 games.

The Warriors went with guards Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, forwards Gui Santos, Draymond Green, and center Kristaps Porzingis as their starting five. In the Dub over the Nets on Wednesday, Gui Santos scored a career-high 31 points. Santos was 4-for-6 from three and 11-for-16 from the field. He scored 15 points on 5-for-7 shooting with three 3-pointers in just the third quarter, making up over half of his total points.

Wizards sent out guards Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, forwards Bilal Coulibaly, Leaky Black, and center Alex Sarr as their starting five, here, in San Francisco. In the Wizards’ most recent win over the Utah Jazz, Julian Reese recorded a career-high 26 points and 17 rebounds in just 30 minutes. Given that Reese’s sister, Angel Reese, is a top WNBA rebounder, it looks like rebounding runs in the family.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has now missed 24 games for the team as he is still out due to a bone bruising on his right knee. The team announced during head coach Steve Kerr’s pregame conference. Curry is making good progress coming back from an evaluation. He hopes to be able to play in a live 5-on-5 scrimmage in the upcoming days. With not many games left in the season, the Warriors are hoping to see Curry return for the Play-In Tournament starting on April 14th.

Also, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said in his pregame conference as well, “We won the last couple of games, but we turned it over 24, 25 times in each of them. We’re not going anywhere by doing that. We have to clean that up, and then that impacts our defense dramatically.” So, with that, the team was on all 10 toes and did exactly that. As in the first quarter, the team had no turnovers at all.

Warriors big man, Kristaps Porzingis, scored Golden State’s first points of the night with a three-pointer. After seeing that first shot going. Porzingis would have himself a quarter that would rub off on the team and took them off to a great start of the game. Porzingis would have himself 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist just in the 1st quarter. With that, the Warriors would also go on to make 7 three-pointers in the 1st as well, and also held a 15-point lead once already. Washington would be down 13 points after the 1st, 38-25.

Halfway through the 2nd quarter, Washington’s shots started to fall in and was able to cut the lead to 9 points. Wizards were able to get in the paint to get themselves some easy buckets, but the Warriors’ home court advantage makes the visiting team struggle from deep. Wizards were 4-for-16 (25%) from deep while the Warriors were able to get 10-of-20 (50%) from deep.

At half, the Warriors played great in all categories and aspects of the 1st half. Golden State had a 12-point lead at halftime, 72-60. The Warriors were shooting above 50% in all of their shooting categories with just 3 turnovers, and were a big reason why they’re holding this lead. Also, Golden State forward Gui Santos leads the lead at half with 14 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. Santos is also perfect from deep, going 2-of-2 with the team finishing 12 three-pointers at half as well.

The start of the 3rd quarter took place 4 minutes in the Warriors have only made 2 shots. While the Wizards came out with some magic in them and were able to get shots to drop. At this point, the score was 76-73, and the Warriors were now trying to hold the lead, but Wizards guard Bub Carrington would hit a corner three to tie the game, 76-76.

Wizards and Warriors would spend the rest of the 3rd going back and forth on exchanging buckets. With 2 lead changes in this quarter, Washington would now hold the lead at the end of the 3rd quarter, 94-92. Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly would drop 10 points himself in the quarter to get them the lead. Also, for the 1st half, the Warriors would make 5 or more three-pointers in the first two quarters. In the 3rd quarter, the team was only able to make 4 shots from deep, while Washington was able to knock down 6 three-pointers in the 3rd.

Washington would also finish the game without center Alex Sarr, who received 4 personal fouls in the 3rd quarter. He had 2 fouls coming back from halftime, and now ends the night with 6 fouls, 8 points, and 10 rebounds. So with 3 minutes into the last quarter, the Wizards still had the lead with 2 points, 101-99.

With 5 minutes 40 seconds left in the game, Warriors forward Gui Santos gets a three-point play to drop after being fouled on a layup and getting the and-1 to drop. His points would tie the game at 111-111. Then, the next possession, Player of the Game, Warriors Kristaps Porzingis, would get fouled and sent to the line. His two shots would give them the lead, 113-11.

As the game clock was winding down. The Warriors were able to lock in and focus on their shot selection to help them run away with the win in this one. The final score would be 131-126. Golden State was led by center Kristaps Porzingis with 28 points

The Warriors will play all seven regular season games in California, starting with a five-game home stand in April, but one on the road in Denver. They will finish the season against the Kings in Sacramento and the Clippers in Los Angeles. So with that, the Golden State will play its last away game of the month against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, March 29th, 2026, at 7 p.m. in Ball Arena. This will also conclude the regular-season series between the Nuggets and the Warriors.

Golden State on 2-game Winning Streak, & beat the Brooklyn Nets on Latino Heritage Night, 109-106.

SAN FRANCISCO – With their 600th straight sellout against the Brooklyn Nets at Chase Center Wednesday night, the Warriors have extended a franchise record. The streak started on December 18, 2012, against the then-New Orleans Hornets. Golden State is now the sixth-longest in NBA history & the second-longest active streak. (Miami Heat is the first-longest active streak) The team was also celebrating Latino Heritage Night, as Golden State would win this one in a nail-biter, 109-106.

The Warriors are now on a two-game winning streak after going 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Golden State Warriors are entering their final games of the season and are making maximum efforts to secure a spot in the postseason. Injuries have been a “huge problem and loss,” in the words of Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. So with that, this win on Wednesday night was a big confidence booster and another win column to the record. The Warriors hope to have a .500 or higher record as they move to 35-38.

Golden State started guards Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, forwards Gui Santos and Draymond Green, and center Kristaps Porzingis. Gui Santos will be replacing guard Moses Moody after a scary injury just two days ago. He suffers from a left patellar tendon rupture, and the team will announce more on his injury and status in the following days. However, fans can expect to have lost both of the team wings this season due to injuries. A huge loss for the team as their regular season is reaching its final games.

The Brooklyn Nets started with guards Ben Saraf, Drake Powell, Terance Mann, forward Ziaire Williams, and center Nic Claxton. The Nets are missing their big scorer forward, Michael Porter Jr., who is out for the game due to a left hamstring strain. Center Nic Claxton has been leading the team with his 11.8 points per game and averaging 7 rebounds per game. This young squad hasn’t had much to celebrate this season, but came into Chase Center on Wednesday hoping to end their 8-game losing streak.

In the first half, the Warriors’ shooting and turnovers were the reasons the Nets were able to see early success. By the end of the 1st quarter, Golden State would have 10 turnovers, but was shooting at 50% in all categories. The Warriors were able to stay in the game, but could’ve seen better results on the scoreboard if they were more careful with the ball.

Also in the 2nd quarter, the Warriors went cold, especially from deep. The team would find themselves going 1-of-10 from deep, and with 5 turnovers. This performance wasn’t gonna hold up, especially playing in your own home. So the Warriors went to the paint and had their forwards surround the basket to get easy second chance points.

At halftime, the Warriors are down to the Nets by 8 points, 58-50. The Warriors are dominating and proving they can get rebounds against this young Nets team. However, Golden State had 15 turnovers in the first half. Brooklyn was able to use those possessions to their advantage, and at one point. The Nets had a 13-point lead on the Warriors. Warriors center Porzingis is leading the way so far with his 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.

At the start of the 4th quarter, the Warriors were down by 9 points. In the last 7 minutes of the game, we had a tie game at 90-90. Then Warriors rookie guard Will Richard knocked down a 26-foot three-pointer to give Golden State the lead, 93-90. This shot got the crowd on their feet and would ultimately give the Warriors the confidence to finish this game, especially with this sellout crowd. Forcing the Nets to call a timeout, but that would bite them later as they only had one timeout left with a lot of time to play left.

Although the Warriors couldn’t get a shot to go in, they were able to draw in the shooting fouls and get points from the foul. So with that, and the Warriors’ defense clutching up in the end. The Golden State Warriors would go on and beat the Nets after being down 13 points, 109-106.

The Warriors get themselves back-to-back wins for the first time since forward Jimmy Butler III’s injury on Jan. 19th. Player of the game went to Gui Santos. His performance and hustle was important as he also became a big fan favorite player. Santos would finish with 31 points, 4-of-6 from three-pointer’s, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist. Now Golden State looks and has a great chance to make it a three-game winning streak when the Washington Wizards come to the Bay on Friday, March 27th, 2026, at 7 p.m. right back at Chase Center as the team will also celebrate Filipino Heritage Night.
