In an intense matchup this past Wednesday, The Golden State Warriors narrowly defeated the Sacramento Kings with a final score of 102-101. The fourth quarter was a closely contested battle, but Klay Thompson ultimately sealed the victory for the Warriors with a game-winning jump shot in the final 0.2 seconds of the game. This triumph marked the Warriors fourth consecutive win. 

Despite their victory, the Warriors didn't perform at their best, committing a total of eighteen turnovers and connecting on only 11 of their 31 three point attempts. Curry had an impressive individual performance, combining five rebounds, three assists and twenty-one points to the game, but did have a significant role in contributing to the team’s eighteen turnover count. Curry also became the first player in NBA history to achieve a streak of 250 consecutive regular seasons with a three pointer made.

Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins teamed up to secure the Warriors’ first ten points of the game. 

With this win, the Warriors improved their record to 4-1 while the Kings fell 2-2. 

Looking ahead, the Warriors are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night as they aim to extend their winning streak and reach a record of 5-1.
