SACRAMENTO -- Sacramento's duo of DeAaron Fox and Malik Monk scored a combined 70 points, outdueling their more heralded Golden State opponents, powering the Kings to a 126-123 victory over the defending NBA champions in Game 1 of their NBA first-round showdown Saturday night.
The game lived up to its billing as a frenetic offensive showdown. The Kings took 98 shot attempts while the Warriors countered with 90. After Curry hit a corner 3-pointer to give Golden State a 114-112 lead with about four minutes left, the Kings responded with seven in a row starting with a 3-pointer from Fox, who led the league in clutch points in the regular season.
Wiggins, playing in his first game in nearly two months, scored 17 points for Golden State and 3 assists in 28 minutes of action. Wiggins, playing off the bench in the first half for the first in his NBA career, showed little or no rust in his first game back after missing nearly two months while he was addressing a family issue.
