Carter's Career-High Lifts Kings Over Warriors 124-118
11 Apr
Summary
- Devin Carter achieved a personal best of 29 points against the Warriors.
- The Kings' victory meant they remained tied for the fourth-worst NBA record.
- Brandon Podziemski led the Warriors with a career-high 30 points.
In their final home game of the season, the Sacramento Kings secured a 124-118 win against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. Kings guard Devin Carter poured in a career-best 29 points, with teammate Maxime Raynaud also contributing significantly with 23 points. This victory, however, did not improve the Kings' draft positioning, as they remain tied with the Utah Jazz for the fourth-worst record in the league.
The Warriors, preparing for the play-in tournament, saw Brandon Podziemski score a career-high 30 points. This game marked a rare appearance together for Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis, who played only about eight minutes on the court together previously. Coach Steve Kerr aimed to give them more court time in the team's final regular-season games as they secured the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
The matchup became intense in the third quarter, marked by flagrant and technical fouls, including one on Curry from the bench. Despite this, the Kings rallied in the fourth quarter to clinch the win. Warriors rookie LJ Cryer is sidelined with a mild ankle sprain.
