On the Warriors podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 It was a night of trying to solve the Golden State Warriors Klay Thompson for the Los Angeles Lakers defense but remained a mystery as Thompson led Golden State in scoring with 30 points.

#2 Thompson’s not so secret weapon was landing those eight 3 pointers which were devastating for the Lakers who lost wide 27 point margin 127-100.

#3 Stephen Curry who scored 50 points last Sunday in game 7 against Sacramento. Curry dropped in 20 points with 12 assists and the Lakers were keyed in on him and Thompson got dished off the ball.

#4 The Warriors set the NBA record for the most three pointers in the first two games of a playoff with 21. It’s the three point shot that hurt the Lakers and they had a tough time stopping that outside shot.

#5 The Lakers LeBron James led the Lakers with 23 points followed by Rui Hachimura who scored 21 but it just wasn’t enough for the Lakers. The Warriors defense also keyed in on Anthony Davis who was held to just 11 points.

Warriors Even Series 1-1 Demolishing Lakers 127-100

By Barbara Mason

The Golden State Warriors (1-1) came away with a huge 127-100 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers (1-1) on Thursday night . It was a must win for Golden State not wanting to fall behind the Lakers 0-2. Also not wanting to lose two games at Chase Center despite having a great start and a great finish in game one the Warriors lost in game one 117-112 and had a huge recovery in game 2.

In game one both teams were terrific. There were only eight turnovers for each team; so great ball protection for the Warriors and the Lakers. The Lakers dominated in the paint in that first game and Thursday night the Warriors were able to flip the script with their 27 point victory.

Game 2 recap: In the opening quarter, the Lakers finished with a 33-26 lead. LeBron James had a great start and as this game went on he would not get a whole lot of support from his starters. It was all on him.

In the second quarter the Warriors really took the Lakers to task dominating in the paint. With under two minutes left in the half, the Warriors had a 65-54 lead. Of concern were the three personal fouls called on Warrior guard Stephen Curry. Anthony Davis had three personals as well. Klay Thompson went off in the half finishing with 19 points. At the half the Warriors had a 67-56 lead.

LeBron finished the first half with 21 points and 23 for the game and Rui Hachimura had 14 off the bench and was four of four from downtown finished with 21 points in the contest. Thompson finished the half with 19 points the only Warrior in double digits. The turnaround from Davis was stunning in this game. He went from being one of the best players on the floor in game one to being pretty much completely ineffective in the first half of game two.

The Warriors put a hurt on the Lakers in the third quarter leading 110-80. Thompson continued his onslaught with 30 points, and was eight of 11 from beyond the arc. Davis continued to be a non- factor and the Warriors were outplaying the Lakers in the paint, from downtown and rebounding. They won the third quarter 43-24. Every starter for Golden State had double digits going into the fourth quarter.

The Golden State bench would finish the game delivering the win in true Warrior form. The Warriors had twice as many turnovers than in game one with 16. The Warriors finished this game with 21 shots from downtown to the Lakers ten. They were great in defensive transition and this game could not have gone better for the Warriors.

Although Curry only had 20 points, he had 12 assists. Draymond Green finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. “We realized that we let one go in game one and we’ve been having to bounce back all year and not a better group to do it with,” said Thompson after the game. “Our offense was flowing and our turnovers were low. We keep it simple, the flood gates will open,” Thompson who led with 30 points said.

Golden State will now travels down Southland for game three at Crypto.com Arena. That game will be played on Saturday evening with tipoff at 5:30 PM.

Lakers hold off Warriors’ late charge in 117-112 win

By Jerry Feitelberg

The Golden State Warriors hosted the Los Angeles Lakers in game one of the best of seven Western Conference Semi-Finals. The Lakers, fresh off a series win over the Memphis Grizzlies last Thursday, had fresher legs as the Warriors had to beat the Sacramento Kings last Sunday in Sacramento.

The big question was how the Warriors would attack the Lakers’ defense. The Warriors are an undersized team. Kevon Looney, at six feet nine inches, is the tallest Warrior. Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins are about six feet seven inches.

The Lakers, Anthony Davis, is four inches taller. LeBron James is the same height as Looney. Lakers’ coach Darvin Ham had Jarred Vanderbilt guard Stephen Curry. Curry is six inches shorter than Vanderbilt. The Warriors’ other scorers, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole, would have to make plays to stay competitive. In the end, it was the Lakers’ strategy that would prevail. The Lakers won the game 117-112.

The teams played a very entertaining first half. The Warriors could not stop Davis. Known as “the Brow,” Davis scored 23 points and pulled down 11 rebounds in the first half. LeBron had 12, and Dennis Schroder, coming off the bench, had 13.

Thompson paced the Warrior offense with 18. With Jarred Vanderbilt draped all over him, Curry managed to put 10 points on the board. Poole kicked in with 13. Wiggins had nine. The Lakers won the first half by one point, 65-64. The Warriors made 13 threes, the Lakers one. The Warriors had three free throws in the first half, the Lakers had 17 and made 16. The Warriors could not drive to the rim and get foul calls. They were shooting from downtown and were able to make threes.

The Warriors stayed close for about half of the third quarter. With the score tied at 73, the Lakers went on a 13-3 run to lead by ten, 86-76. The Warriors now had to play catch up. The Lakers finished the quarter leading 96-88. LA made four threes in the third quarter. While an eight-point disadvantage is not difficult to overcome, the Warriors needed to get Curry heated up in the fourth quarter. 

The Lakers continued to keep the Warriors from scoring in the paint. Davis was a force at the rim. The Lakers increased the lead to 14, 112-98. The Warriors went on an 11-0 run to close within three, 112-109. Curry, Thompson, and Poole led the charge. The fans were on their feet as there was hope. Curry then hit another three to tie the score 112-112. The Lakers did not fold.

Game Notes: The Lakers now own home-court advantage. The Lakers will have three home games, the Warriors three. If the Warriors are going to win the series, they will have to win one in LA and the three left at the Chase Center. It will take work. 

Curry led the Warriors with 27 points, Thompson had 25, Poole had 21, and Wiggins had 15. Looney had his fourth game in the playoffs with over 20 rebounds. Kevon scored ten points and had 23 rebounds and five assists.

Looney had to battle Davis the entire game but came through for the Warriors. The Warriors made 21 threes. They had six free throws and made five. The Lakers went to the line 29 times and made 25. The 20-point differential won the game for LA. 

Davis had a monster game with 30 points and 23 rebounds. LeBron had a double-double with 22 points and 11 boards. As a former Warrior, D’Angelo Russell finished with 19, as did Dennis Schroder. Austin Reaves finished with ten points. Reaves made two threes in the third quarter to help propel the Lakers into the lead in the third quarter. Jarred Vanderbilt had eight.

The Lakers and Warriors will play game two of the series Thursday night at the Chase Center. The game will start at 6 pm and will be televised on ESPN.

On the Warriors podcast with Barbara:

#1 Barbara, the Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry just unloaded with 50 points and was probably the saving grace for Golden State in their 120-100 win in Sacramento on Sunday afternoon in game 7 of the first round.

#2 Barbara talk about the fourth quarter shut down of the Sacramento Kings offense where the Warriors defense stepped up and the Kings only scored 19 points and were far from catching the Warriors.

#3 The Kings had a better first half than the Warriors scoring 31 in the first quarter and 27 in the second quarter did it appear from all indications that they looked like they would be off to having another successful chance against the champs.

#4 Barbara, When Curry got hot did the Kings try and double team him, try to shut down his three pointers and if they did Curry didn’t have much room for error and made all his throws count.

#5 The Warriors open games one and two at Golden State against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers LeBron James has carried the Lakers on his back in the past will that be the case for him going into this series against the Warriors?

Golden State Warriors game wrap: Warriors crush Kings in fourth quarter for 120-100 win; Sets up a Curry vs. James series

The stage was set and there was no doubt this game would be crammed with some electric plays as the Golden State Warriors (4-3) came back from their game six loss to defeat the Sacramento Kings (3-4) at Golden One Center in a winner take all game seven 120-100.

The Warriors had a less than stellar game six and there was some changes the first of which was Draymond Green was back as a starter. Golden State had some great defense and also contained the Kings superstar De’Aaron Fox. This first round game seven matchup to remember with so much at stake for both teams. The Warriors also had to deal with the thunderous crowd that packed the arena Sunday afternoon.

Game 7 recap: The Warriors got on the board first as this game got underway. The Kings got a quick start but the Warriors wasted no time catching up. They hit some wide open threes and led mid-way through the first 12 minutes 18-12. The Warriors led for most of the opening quarter but it was the Kings that led when the first quarter came to an end 31-30. It was a high scoring electric start for both teams.

Gary Payton Jr. headed to the locker room early in the second quarter after committing three personals. Unlike the first quarter, it was the Kings that led for most of the second quarter and at the half Sacramento had a slim 58-56 lead. Gary Payton was the only player with three personal fouls on either team. This game had all the makings of a wild and tight finish.

Klay Thompson had an awful start and at the half was 1 of 10 jeopardizing this game for Golden State. He was a no show so far and needed to step it up in the second half. If De’Aaron Fox got going in the third and fourth quarters Golden State could be in for some trouble.

Thompson came to the party in the third quarter finishing with 16 points. The Warriors led by as much as 12 points in the quarter and after three led 91-81. They were awful at the line going four of 13 but managed to keep the Kings off balance. Golden State had to hold on for another 12 minutes if they wanted to advance to the Western Semifinals.

Golden State came on strong in the fourth quarter. The Kings picked the worst possible time to have a horrific second half, especially the fourth quarter. They couldn’t buy a basket and had untimely turnovers. The Warriors gut punched the Kings in the third 35-23 and they were just getting started.

Golden State dominated the fourth quarter and Stephen Curry made some crazy unbelievable circus shots in this game. He became the all-time leader outscoring Kevin Durant in a game seven in the playoffs. He finished with 50 points in this game.

Kevon Looney had so much to do with this win. He finished with 21 rebounds, the second time he came away with 21 plus in these playoffs. The bottom line in this game was the win was all about Curry. Without his performance in this game the outcome may have been different, Not a single player on the roster even scored 20 and Thompson came up empty in the fourth quarter. It was all Curry willing his team to the win.

The Kings have a lot to be proud of this season. They came out of the dark into an incredible 2022-23 season. It was a major disappointment for the Kings and it will take some time to realize how amazing they really were this year. They deserve a lot of credit and no doubt will continue on the wonderful path they are currently on.

This team has an abundance of character and the Kings will no doubt go up from here after so many accolades celebrated this season. Mike Brown Coach of the Year, Fox Clutch Player of the year, Keegan Murray most three’s by a rookie in a season besides being the number one offense indicates that there is nowhere but up for Sacramento to go.

Now we will all get to see two all-time greats clash in the Western Semi-finals. Curry versus LeBron James; it doesn’t get any better than that. This will be a clash to two Titans that may well go down in history. That series will get underway on Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM.

Golden State Warriors game wrap: Kings beat Warriors 119-99 Game seven in Sacramento on Sunday

By Jerry Feitelberg

The Sacramento Kings tipped off against the Warriors Friday night at the Chase Center. The Kings, facing elimination with their back to the wall, did what was necessary to beat the Warriors 118-99. Mike Brown, the former Warriors’ assistant head coach, had his team ready.

Brown took a page from the Warriors’ game plan when he used Trey Lyles in the number-five slot. Brown had Domantas Sobonis on the bench and went with a small lineup. That decision turned the tide for Sacramento. The Kings did everything right. The stats show the Kings took more shots than the Warriors.

They held the Warriors to 37% from the floor. It was the Warriors’ worst offensive performance at home this season. The Kings made more three-point shots. They made 17, while the Warriors connected on ten. The Kings outrebounded the Warriors 66-60. The Warriors recorded 20 assists.

When the Warriors are on their game, they usually make close to 30 assists. The low assist total indicated the Warriors needed to move the ball better. Too many Warriors were trying to make plays rather than find the open man. The Kings’ bench, led by Malik Monk and Lyles, outscored the Warriors bench 52-21. Draymond Green scored 21 points on Wednesday and was held to four. Jordan Poole was guilty of too many turnovers and sloppy plays. Poole finished with seven points.

The first quarter was a defensive struggle. The Kings got off to an early 8-0 lead. The Warriors put points on the board, and the lead changed hands several times in the first quarter. Golden State led 25-23 after the first period. The Kings won the second quarter 35-26 to finish the first half with a seven-point advantage 58-51.

The Kings’ Keegan Murray paced the team with 12 points. Murray connected on four threes. De’Aaron Fox had ten, Monk 11, Lyles nine, and Sabonis five. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 16. Stephen Curry had 13. The Kings took nine more shots in the first half, 54 to 45.

The Warriors knew they would have to play better in the third quarter to win. They had to find a way to stop committing turnovers and make stops on defense. Neither happened. The Kings, behind the play of Monk and Lyles, paced the Kings to a 90-80 lead after three quarters. Lyles played more in the third period as Sabonis had to sit on the bench with five fouls.

The Warriors knew a ten-point lead was relatively easy to overcome when trailing to start the fourth quarter. They had to attack the basket, find the open man, and make some threes. The Kings had other thoughts. They knew they had to play well on both ends of the court.

They accomplished their objective. Every time the Warriors made a three, the Kings answered with one of their own. They were blocking shots, rebounding, and getting second-chance points. Their hard work was rewarded with a win.
Sacramento beat the Warriors to force a game seven. The game will be played at the Golden 1 Arena on Sunday. The game will start at 12:30 pm.

Golden State Warriors game wrap: Warriors Beat Kings For the First Road Win of This Series 123-116

Warriors Beat Kings For the First Road Win of This Series 123-116

By Barbara Mason

Head Coach Steve Kerr was having no part of the statistics that teams that win game five in a series go on to win the series. The Golden State Warriors (44-38) will concentrate on protecting the ball and defensive rebounds as they take on the Sacramento Kings (48-34) in game five of their series at Golden One Center. The Warriors improved their series record to 3-2 with a 123-116 win on Wednesday night in Sacramento.

All eyes were on the injured De’Aaron Fox as he took the court after breaking his left index finger in the fourth quarter of game four. He was sporting a protective splint and the question remained, how will this affect not only his dribbling but his shooting. We got that answer the first quarter of the game.

After the first 12 minutes of play, the Kings led by a slim margin 36-33 after leading by as much as ten during the quarter. Any concerns regarding Fox were laid to rest when he hit three shots from downtown and finished the first quarter with 11 points.

With 3:54 left in the second quarter the Warriors tied up the game at 50 when Klay Thompson hit his third triple of the game. Both Andrew Wiggins and Thompson had four personal fouls. Thompson had the hot hand in the first half with 16 points. The Kings Fox had the high for the team with 17 points. At the half the Warriors led 60-56.

The Warriors turned this game in their favor in the third quarter leading 99-90. It would all come down to the fourth quarter to reveal who would take the series lead back to Chase Friday night.

The Kings fought back and with 1:11 left in the game trailed 117-114. Sacramento could not get over the hump. The Warriors playoff experienced trumped when all was said and done. It was the Warriors by eight 122-114 with 22.4 left in the game and Golden State could smell their first road win of this series.

Stephen Curry finished the game with 31 points. He moved past Magic Johnson for 15th on the all- time playoff scoring list in this game. Thompson had 25 points and Draymond Green was amazing with 21 points. The last time Green scored 20 points in a game was 2019 against the Rockets. Kevon Looney had an amazing 22 rebounds.

Despite playing with a broken finger, Fox finished with 24 points. Domantas Sabonis had 21 points as did Malik Monk off the bench.

Friday night the Warriors will take the series back to Chase Center. They will be looking to close out this series now leading 3-2. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM.

Golden State Warriors game wrap: Warriors win thriller 126-125; Even playoff series with Kings 2-2; Series moves to Sacramento Wednesday

By Jerry Feitelberg

The Golden State Warriors beat the young and talented Sacramento Kings 126-125 Sunday afternoon at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The game had everything a fan could want. The Warriors needed the win to even the series. The Warriors knew that a loss would have Sacramento in the driver’s seat with three games to one advantage, and the next game would be on their Kings’ homecourt in Sacramento.

The fans of both teams knew that each team could put points on the board in a hurry. The Kings and The Warriors were the top two scoring teams in the NBA. The defending NBA champs, the Warriors, had to find a way to defend the upstart Kings.

The Warriors found a way last Thursday when they held the Kings under 100 points. The Warriors did that without their best defensive players, Draymond Green and Gary Payton II. Green was suspended for one game, and Payton was too ill to play. The Kings had to find a way to slow down the Warriors offense. The Kings had an advantage as their head coach Mike Brown had been an assistant head coach with the Warriors for the past six years and was familiar with the Warriors offense.

All that was left to do was play 48 minutes of basketball. The teams performed at a very high level. The first half featured two high-octane offenses going at each other. The Kings’ De’Aaron Fox, coming into his own this season, paced the offense in the first half with 21 points.

Rooke Keegan Murray helped out the Kings’ attack with 15 points. Both Murray and Fox made three threes in the first half. The Kings won the first quarter 31-29. The Warriors fought back in the second period. With the score tied at 49, the Kings went on a 7-0 run to lead 56-49.

Sacramento increased the lead to nine, 60-51. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson helped the Warriors close the gap to one, 66-65. Murray made a three, and the Kings finished the first half leading 69-65. Both teams went to the locker room, feeling they could win. The fans needed the break to relax from all the intensity they felt from the players on the floor.

The Warriors emerged from the halftime break with one objective. Shut down the Kings’ offense and outscore them in the third quarter. Over the many years they have been in the playoffs, the Warriors have owned the third quarter. The Warriors knew if they would demoralize the Kings.

Sacramento had not been in the playoffs for 16 years. The Kings’ players were experiencing playoff basketball for the first time in their careers. How would they handle the pressure? The intensity is ramped up in these games. The Warriors fell behind by seven early in the third quarter when former Warriors forward Harrison Barnes connected on a three.

The Warriors then outscored the Kings 37-20 to finish the third quarter leading by ten, 102-92. Curry and Jordan Poole led the Warriors in the period. The Warriors defense, led by Green and Andrew Wiggins, put the clamps on Fox for those 12 minutes. 

The fans were standing at the start of the game’s fourth quarter. The fans also knew a ten-point lead could be overcome. Fox, the NBA’s Jerry West Clutch Performer of the Year, was ready to attack. The Warriors assigned Green to defend him, and the quarter started with Sacramento going on a 7-0 run to close within three points of the lead, 102-99.

Sacramento kept the pressure on and took the lead 107-106 on a Malik Monk bucket. That was the last time that Sacramento would lead. 

Curry made the next two baskets for the Warriors to make it a 110-107 game. The Kings came back to within a point, 118-117. The Warriors pulled away to lead by five, 126-121. With 43 seconds left to play and Curry with the ball, Curry called a timeout.

There was only one problem. The Warriors were out of timeouts. The referees awarded the Kings a technical foul and possession of the ball. Sacramento made the technical free throw, and Fox connected on a three to close the gap to one, 126-125. With ten seconds left, the Kings had control of the ball. They had to make a bucket or go to the free-throw line to win the game. The Warriors’ defense held, and the Warriors evened the series at two apiece with a thrilling one point win.

Game Notes: The Warriors had five players in double figures. Curry led the parade with 32 points. Thompson had 26, Poole 22, Andrew Wiggins 18, and Green with 12. Green had ten rebounds to complete a double-double. Kevon Looney tallied eight points and pulled down 14 boards. The Warriors, on defense, had 51 rebounds, eight steals, and six blocked shots. 

The Kings had four players in double figures. Fox led the Kings with 38 points. Murray had 23, and he made five threes. Monk had 16, Davion Mitchell 12, and Domantas Sabonis finished with 14. Sabonis had seven rebounds and eight assists. 

The teams are off until Wednesday night, when they play game five of the series will be played at the Golden 1 Arena in Sacramento. The game will start at 7 pm.
