De’Aaron Fox scored 38 points and the Sacramento Kings celebrated their return to the postseason after a record 16-year drought by beating the defending-champion Golden State Warriors 126-123.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — De'Aaron Fox finished off a dazzling playoff debut that was years in the making and had one more task to do.
Game 2 is Monday night in Sacramento. The Warriors haven't fallen behind 2-0 in a playoff series since the second round against Utah in 2007 Fox took until his sixth season to reach the postseason stage but announced himself as a star as only Luka Doncic scored more points in a playoff debut with 42 against Dallas three years ago.
The Warriors didn't go away and cut the deficit to one on a layup by Curry in the final minute. But Andrew Wiggins missed a corner 3 for the lead in the closing seconds of his first game in more than two months.
