Stephen Curry wills Warriors to victory with 47-point night
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors were trailing the Sacramento Kings for most of the game and on the brink of potentially losing its sixth straight game Monday night.Curry scored 17 of his season-high 47 points in the fourth quarter in the Warriors’ 116-113 come-from-behind win.
Sacramento couldn’t hit the last-second basket as the Warriors squeaked out a close win, effectively snapping a five-game losing skid. Lost in the madness of Curry’s phenominal performance was Andrew Wiggins’ 25-point night and big fourth quarter. The wing, who’s been the team’s second-best player this season, scored 13 points in the fourth, making all five of his shots, including three from deep. Wiggins finished with his second double-double of the season, grabbing 10 rebounds.
Golden State’s bench, praised in the preseason for its depth, has struggled to find its groove. The Warriors’ reserves were outscored 49-15 by the Kings’ bench. Malik Monk dropped 24 off-the-bench for the Kings. Kerr said pregame that he planned to “scale down” the lineups. With Kevon Looney picking up his third foul early in the second quarter, the Warriors turned to Draymond Green and Kuminga to play at center for the first half.
