Warriors' 3-Point Dominance Overthrows Kings

Oct. 9 The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings have memorable games over the past two seasons. Wednesday's contest was no different. The two teams had core-shaking moves, with Kings' DeMar DeRozan and Warriors' Buddy Hield leading the fray. Golden State's shooting dominated the night, leading to a 122-112 victory over Sacramento.

The Warriors come into Wednesday's game 1-0 in the preseason after beating the Los Angeles Clippers last Saturday. However, this Kings team is ready to run the floor with the Warriors. The first half ended with the Kings leading 68-66 - both teams came to play, just not defense.

Naturally, the Warriors vets didn't play the second half, leaving it up to the younger players to finish the game. The Warriors' "replacement" for Klay Thompson carried the mantle in the second half. Hield started the game 5-5 from the 3-point line; He finished with 22 points shooting a remarkable 6-7 from behind the 3-point line . On the other end, DeRozan scored 15 points to lead the Kings.

The game was so action-packed, even Kyle Anderson hit a 3-point shot. Golden State scored 100 points in three quarters; defense didn't mean much for either team.
