The Golden State Warriors are dealing with the fallout from the Draymond Green punch of Jordan Poole in a preseason practice. We can say all we want about the ...

The Warriors have not yet played a road game this season; they have been able to stay in San Francisco for each of their first three games. The Kings simply have to figure out solutions there and get to a point where 108 points are enough to win a game. The Kings are not having problems scoring, so if just one or two core members of the Warriors do not fill it up from 3-point range, Sacramento can keep this game close and cover. They scored at least 108 in both games but have nothing to show for it because of their longstanding problems at the defensive end of the floor. We can say all we want about the Warriors’ championship identity and winning habits, but that kind of event is going to linger throughout the season, and it’s hardly a sure thing that the Dubs are going to stay on course for a repeat title. The Golden State Warriors are dealing with the fallout from the Draymond Green punch of Jordan Poole in a preseason practice.

After the Warriors held on for the win in a high-scoring battle against the Kings, NBA Twitter chimed in with different reactions.

The Warriors have missed about 6 layups in the last 5 mins. But also, please don’t do that again. Style points don’t matter. Warriors are 2-1. [October 24, 2022] Kings are 0-3. Warriors scored 50 points in the second quarter. Fox notched 26 points on 11-of-20 shooting from the floor with 10 assists and five rebounds in 37 minutes on Sunday. Behind Richaun Holmes, De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Terrence Davis, the Kings mounted a fierce comeback, cutting Golden State’s lead all the way down to four points with just over a minute remaining. Andrew Wiggins added 18 points, while Jordan Poole notched 12 points all in the first half. Behind a 50-point second quarter, the Warriors posted a red-hot 89 points in the first half on Sunday night. Curry tallied 28 points in the first half.

The Warriors built a 26-point lead against the Kings on Sunday night but had to hold on for a narrow win.

The Warriors put up 50 points in the second quarter, the franchise record for points in the second quarter. To add more spacing, Kerr turned to Moses Moody in the second half on Friday night. The franchise record for points in a half is 92, when they did so in the first half against the Chicago Bulls on Oct. He scored 21 points for the quarter, going 6-for-8 from the field and 5-for-6 from long distance. Wherever the Warriors let it fly in the first half, the ball was going in. Moody was the one getting early minutes this time. Overall, Curry shot 11-for-22 from the field, 7-for-12 on 3-pointers and made all four of his free throws. The Philadelphia Warriors scored 61 points in the second half against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. The shots kept splashing in what was nothing short of a clinic. In the fourth, though, they scored only 17 points to hold on for the win. The Warriors opened the game a perfect 3-for-3 from the field, scored on their first four possessions and roared out to a 10-0 lead. The defense has a ton of work cut out for them, but the Warriors offense once again will be extremely tough to slow down.

Following an easy bucket by Terence Davis, the Warriors still led by 17 points. That was beside the point, though. "Transition defense," Kerr said flatly when ...

With a towel draped over his head and legs all wrapped up, it was clear that was to be the case for Curry. The Warriors scored 89 points in the first half, good for their second-most over a first half in franchise history and their third-most of any half. Then in the second half, they scored 41 points to the Kings' 54. "It's part of the growth of young guys trying to understand how hard it is to win in this league. It's really hard to win in this league and to sustain that -- 48 minutes is a long time. This was supposed to be a night where stars like Steph Curry could sit back and relax, cheering on his teammates from the sidelines for the final quarter. All three should have no excuse to not be running up and down the floor, and they should be fighting to prove themselves on a nightly basis. Over those final five minutes, Curry missed all four of his shot attempts and turned the ball over once. The training wheels also have to be all the way off. He also was a team-worst minus-18 in plus-minus, and Kerr isn't going to let him off easy. The second half, especially the fourth quarter, was full of nail biting and countless frustrations. You got a group of reserves out there, and those guys should be dying to be on the floor and flying around and playing with huge energy, and that's what I was upset about.
