Stephen Curry had a team-high 32 points and the Golden State Warriors overcame a timeout violation in the final minute to hold off the Sacramento Kings 126-125 and draw even at 2-2 in their Western Conference first-round playoff series on Sunday afternoon in San Francisco.
With all four games in the best-of-seven having been won by the home team, the action returns to Sacramento for Game 5 on Wednesday night.
Malik Monk made it a four-point game by hitting the free throw, and when De'Aaron Fox buried a 3-pointer with 28.1 seconds left, the Kings were suddenly within 126-125. The third-seeded Kings trailed 102-92 after three quarters but flurried right back into the game by scoring the first seven points of the final period. Domantas Sabonis and Davion Mitchell scored 2-point baskets and Keegan Murray bombed in a 3-pointer with still 10:43 to play.
Klay Thompson backed Curry with 26 points for the Warriors, who out-shot the Kings 50.0 percent to 47.1 percent. Jordan Poole added 22 points, Andrew Wiggins 18 and Draymond Green 12.
