The Kings trapped the ball out of Steph Curry’s hands all night — often at halfcourt — and he responded by dishing a season-high 12 assists. Andrew Wiggins poured in 25 and Gui Santos (16 points) provided a major lift off the bench. But DeMar DeRozan (32 points, 24 in the second half) was too much for the short-handed Warriors to overcome.
The Kings appeared to be headed for a blowout loss on their home court in a game that was nationally televised by ESPN, but that’s when DeRozan went to work. He scored 17 points in the third quarter, bringing his team back from a big deficit while bringing the arena to life.
DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points, Domantas Sabonis had 26 points and 18 rebounds and the Sacramento Kings overcame an 18-point deficit to beat the Golden State Warriors 123-117 on Wednesday night.
