SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bogdan Bogdanovich scored 25 points, “Buddy” Hield added 19 and the Sacramento Kings routed the Golden State Warriors 100-79 last night.
The Kings won for the fourth time in five games and shook off a disappointing home loss Friday to the lowly New York Knicks.
They shot a season-best 60 per cent from the field and beat the Warriors for just the fourth time in the past 25 games between the teams dating to the 2013-14 season.
Sacramento improved to 12-14, holding Golden State to 39 per cent shooting. The Warriors have lost eight of nine to fall to 5-23.
Golden State were 6 of 25 shots from 3-point and matched their season low for points in a game.
Willie Cauley-Stein, facing his former team, led the Warriors with 14 points on 7-for-9 shooting.
Sacramento ended all doubt after halftime, outscoring Golden State 28-17 for the third quarter.
The Kings are on a nice roll, Friday’s defeat notwithstanding, and things could get better as point guard De’Aaron Fox appears close to returning from a severely sprained ankle.
