Warriors Get Blown Out in Game Three 127-97

By Barbara Mason

The Golden State Warriors (44-39) traveled down to Crypto .com Arena to take on the Los Angeles Lakers (44-39) in game three of the Western semifinals. The Warriors sent a message loud and clear in game two in a real beat down winning that game 127-100.

Golden State couldn’t deal with what was waiting for them in game 3 in the Southland. After struggling during the season on the road, the Warriors have turned it all around when it has really counted in game 2. They just weren’t able to do that turnaround on Saturday night getting blown out by the Lakers 127-97 as the Lakers take a 2-1 lead in the series.

The first five minutes of the first quarter turned out to be the D’Angelo Russell show scoring all 11 of the Lakers opening points. At 7:49, the Lakers had taken a seven point lead 11-6 but the Warriors pulled to within three points with four minutes left in the first 12 minutes.

A bit of a slow start for Klay Thompson heated up in a hurry finishing with 11 points. Golden State had turned this game around now leading going into the second quarter 30-23.

The Lakers went on a monster run in the second quarter going from being down 11 points to being up nine and leading 51-42 with 2:23 left in the half. At the half it was Los Angeles leading 59-48. The Lakers had finished a 30-8 run with some amazing defense as well as offense.

The Lakers put a beat down on the Warriors in the third quarter taking a 86-68 lead. Los Angeles had put a strangle hold on the Warriors bench and were keeping Stephen Curry and Thompson under wraps. Anthony Davis was having a great game with 25 points and both LeBron James and Russell had 21 points. It was all Lakers in the third quarter.

The second half belonged to Los Angeles. They were in control leading by as much as 34 points. James, DeAngelo Russell and Davis sat out the fourth quarter. The Lakers had a 2-1 lead in the series. The Lakers remain perfect at home with a 4-0 record.

It was a dismal display for Golden State. The energy that was lacking really hurt the team. The defensive effort was not great and along came those turnovers with 19. The Warriors are once again in desperation mode going into game four.

Curry finished with 23 points but it was “good night” for the Golden State Warriors in this one.

Game four will be played Monday night with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 PM. This will be a must win for the Warriors. They seem to thrive under intense pressure so the question remains can the Warriors tie up this series heading back to Chase for game five.

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

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?

Sacramento Kings game wrap: Warriors trap Kings on 4th quarter defense for 120-100 win; End of Kings amazing season

By Jeremiah Salmonson

SACRAMENTO–The Sacramento Kings were back in action on Sunday afternoon. The Kings and the Warriors series was guaranteed to wrap up on Sunday in a game seven matchup in Sacramento. The Kings were down 3-2 in the series to the Warriors entering game six.

The Kings blew out the Warriors in San Francisco to force a game seven at home on Sunday. The game was set to start at 12:30 PM PST on ABC. The Kings lost game seven to the Warriors by the final of 120-100.

In the first quarter, Warrior guard Stephen Curry started the game off hot for the Warriors as he dropped 10 points in the first quarter. The Kings didn’t lead much of the quarter. However, at the end of the quarter, the Kings went ahead in the game.

Domantas Sabonis led the Kings in scoring in the first quarter as he scored seven points. It was an amazing sight, as Sabonis had struggled the entire series. It was clear neither team was going to go away without a fight. The Kings led the Warriors 31-30 after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the dogfight continued. The Kings and Warriors were in an all-out war in the second quarter as both teams tried to create some separation. In the second quarter, Curry continued to play great basketball. Curry scored a total of 20 points in the first half on just over 50% from the field.

On the other hand, Thompson really struggled. Thompson only scored seven points in the half, with five of those coming from the free-throw line. The Warriors scored 26 points in the second quarter.

The Kings scored 27 points in the second quarter to take a 58-56 lead into halftime. The Kings received a great performance in the first half from Sabonis, who scored 16 points. Terence Davis and Malik Monk came up big for the Kings in the first half, scoring nine points.

In the third quarter, Curry and Thompson came out firing. The Kings small lead quickly turned to dust as the Warriors went up by seven with 7:38 in the third. The question would be if the Kings could respond with a run of their own. The Kings were not able to go on the run they needed to close out the third quarter. In fact, the Warriors were able to extend the lead with a big bucket from Thompson.

The Warriors outscored the Kings 35-23 in the third quarter to take a commanding ten point lead into the final quarter. It was vintage Golden State during the splash brother era. Curry had 34 points through three quarters. It would take a miracle fourth quarter from the Kings offense to keep the season alive.

In the final quarter, the Kings weren’t able to mount the comeback they needed to win the game. The Kings lost game seven to the Warriors 120-100. It was a tough loss for the Kings, who looked good in the first half but could never get it going in the second half of the game.

Sabonis was very effective in the first half but was nearly shut down by Looney in the second half of play. The Warriors outscored the Kings 29-19 in the final quarter of play.The only reason the Warriors win this game is because Curry is the best shooter of all time.

Curry absolutely torched the Kings for 50 points. It was the most points scored in a game seven in NBA history. Curry had one of the best postseason games ever while willing his team to victory.

It was a great season for the Kings, and the loss to the Warriors is nothing to hang their heads on. The Kings will be back in the playoffs for years to come.

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.

Kings Force a Game Seven Beating Warriors 118-99

By Barbara Mason

Friday night the Sacramento Kings (49-34) played their most important game of the season defeating the NBA champion Golden State Warriors (44-39) 118-99 to even the series 3-3 at Chase Center in San Francisco. Trailing 3-2 in the series the Kings were faced with a win or go home scenario.

Sacramento had all hands on deck especially from Kevin Huerter who scored 12 points, who frankly had not been good at all in this series. Harrison Barnes had not been the same since the critical miss from downtown in game four. The Kings protected the ball and stopped the crazy turnovers that are not at all the norm for Sacramento; their average around 12-13 per game.

Game 6 recap: The first quarter was a close one with the Warriors leading 25-23. The game was a physical one from the tipoff. The Kings had nine offensive rebounds to the Warriors one and yet they still trailed.

At the half the Kings had taken the lead 58-51 but were still struggling with ball protection. Sabonis was in foul trouble but despite their woes the Kings were getting some great work from Keegan Murray, De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk.

Sacramento began to extend their lead in the third quarter and going into the fourth quarter the Kings led 90-80. Sacramento was 12 minutes away from forcing a game seven. Monk had elevated his game to new heights finishing the third quarter with 20 points, the team high so far. The Kings Domantas Sabonis had five fouls and was forced to sit and Sacramento would have to step up defensively.

Domantas Sabonis entered the fourth quarter with the five fouls and 8:15 left in the game. It was crunch time for the Kings. The Warriors had begun to pick up offensively and Sacramento had to keep pace. The Kings were forcing Warriors turnovers and had to keep the defensive pressure on.

Through three quarters Sacramento had played a beautiful defensive game. With 3:45 left in the game, the Kings had a nineteen point lead 116-97. This was the largest Sacramento lead in the series.

After a deflating loss in game five for Sacramento the Kings came back with a vengeance to win game six. They put a real beat down on the Warriors in the fourth quarter. Monk had a terrific game finishing with 28 points the team high. Fox had 26 points despite the fractured finger he was dealing with. The Kings out rebounded the Warriors and hit more shots from downtown; they simply outplayed the Warriors in the second half offensively and defensively.

The Warriors Stephen Curry led the Golden State with 29 points. Klay Thompson finished with 22 points.

Game seven will be played at Golden One Center Sunday, the time TBD at the time of this posting.

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

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.
