Draymond Green was first to score with a quick dunk, but Kings’ Kevin Huerter quickly responded with a three on the other end. Such was the first half, a back-and-forth battle.
The first quarter was all about the Kings’ bench, which went 3-for-7 from three with no turnovers. Terence Davis hit two 3-pointers to tie the game 25-25 with less than two minutes remaining in the first. With the Warriors down 45-42 halfway through the second, Curry notably missed two consecutive free throws. Shocking as it may have been, he still posted a whopping 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists by halftime.
