The Golden State Warriors put away the Sacramento Kings in Game 7 with a dramatic flash...
in front of a once-hostile Golden 1 Center crowd that was silenced by greatness. In the second half, Championship DNA became a very real thing.
Those three core players heard Malik Monk call them old. They knew Kings head coach Mike Brown said he wanted to “run, run, run, run, run, run, run.” The reigning champions listened to the pundits say that it was the Memphis Grizzlies’ time, the Kings’ time.Until further notice, this is still the Warriors Invitational, to borrow Green’s amusingly cocky term.
A first-round loss could have been a recipe for big changes for the franchise and perhaps the end of the dynasty’s era. Instead, operating on about 36 hours of rest, the Warriors came out and flipped on that DNA switch. Finally, their ace card — all that experience — was played.said. “So there’s a need to have experience in Game 7’s. Our core guys have that.”
And Curry was spectacular. He scored 30 second-half points. He took 38 shots and had only one turnover. He had a game for the ages — Thompson called it “the Steph Curry game.” Kerr’s word for the performance was “sublime.”At one point, as the seconds were ticking away, Curry pretended to push the giant button that lights the beam. There was no beam-lighting Sunday. Instead, Curry lit up all of Sacramento.
