ABOUT THE WARRIORS (43-7): All-Star point guard Stephen Curry scored 30 points in a 117-106 victory in Sacramento on January 8 as one of five times in the past 14 games in which he tallied 30 or more points.

But if you’re here for the Warriors All-82 podcast, it’s embedded below.
Go ahead and try and figure this Kings team out. Klay Thompson fired in 26 points, while Green put in 16 and Durant totaled 10 on 2-of-10 shooting. What a win for the Kings. Is KD’s mind already on his OKC return? Kerr got his money’s worth following the call as the Warriors bench restrained their head coach and kept him from doing more damage.
USA Today’s Sam Amick joins the podcast to discuss all that and more. The ball didn’t move.
“I’m so proud of my team”, Cousins said. Green attempted a last second hero shot to tie it up, but ultimately the Kings prevailed. I didn’t even recognize our team out there tonight.
DeMarcus Cousins led the way for Sacramento, falling just shy of a triple-double with 32 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. They rank 10th in the National Basketball Association for forcing turnovers (14.7), opponent rebounding (42.6), and steals (8.1) but 25th for opponent field goal percentage (46.5), 26th for opponent 3-point percentage (37.4), and 29th in rebounding (40.7). This is what sent Kerr on a rage, spewing a few choice words to the officials before being T’d up and dismissed from the game.

After Kerr’s ejection, it appeared the Warriors might generate another third quarter blitz. Cauley-Stein, who has been a disappointment for the Kings, showed his potential last night scoring by slashing, post ups, and short jumpers. What followed was a nervous time, as Green rocked back and forth in apparent pain before limping to the locker room. Green, coming off a one-game absence because of a right-shoulder injury, was raring to go. “It’s not part of who I am.” – and the incident came only two weeks after guards Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade publicly criticized teammates, only to see veteran backup Rajon Rondo call them out for their comments. But how many times has that happened this season where he only took 10 shots?
