The Warrior’s NBA Title in Jeopardy After Second Straight Loss to Kings
by privatebet.com - 2023/04/19
The Golden State Warriors came into this year’s NBA playoffs as defending champions, but they’re now facing the risk of being eliminated in the very first round. Sacramento Kings handed them another defeat in Game 2, and they’re just one win away from proceeding to the second round. This marks the first 0-2 series deficit of the Stephen Curry era for the Warriors, and they’ll have to win all of the remaining games against the Kings to make a comeback. Despite being the game’s top scorer with 28 points, Curry failed to lead the Warriors to another victory and said they have to “stay together and locked in” after this defeat. The Kings won 114-106 on Monday night, and De'Aaron Fox was one of the game’s shiniest stars after scoring 24 points, including a backbreaking 3-pointer that led them to this triumph. “I think that brought us together. We huddled up and were like, 'We have to win this game.' Everybody thought he’d be ejected. When that happens, usually that team comes together and goes on a run. But we were able to negate that,” said Fox post-match. The Warriors will get another chance to get back on track on Thursday night when they’re set to play Game 3 against the Kings in San Francisco.
