Green Shines, Curry Makes History in Warriors Dominant Win Over Kings
The Golden State Warriors secured a convincing 130-104 win over the Sacramento Kings on March 13th, 2025, at Chase Center. This marked their sixth straight victory, improving their record to 38-28 as they push for playoff positioning. Golden State set the tone early, leading by 12 points at the end of the first quarter and never looking back. The Kings, struggling without star big man Domantas Sabonis, dropped their third consecutive game.
Draymond Green’s Season-Best Performance
Draymond Green led the Warriors’ offense with a season-high 23 points, knocking down four three-pointers in the process. His scoring output, combined with his usual defensive tenacity, provided a significant boost to Golden State’s game plan. Green’s energy helped set the tone in the first half, where the Warriors built a comfortable lead. This strong performance comes as he continues to play a critical role in the team’s late-season push.
Jonathan Kuminga’s Strong Return
After missing 31 games due to a right ankle injury, Jonathan Kuminga made a triumphant return to the Warriors' lineup. The athletic forward contributed 18 points in just 20 minutes off the bench, providing much-needed scoring depth. His ability to attack the basket and finish at the rim gave Golden State an extra offensive weapon. Kuminga’s return strengthens the Warriors' rotation as they prepare for a critical stretch of the season.
Moses Moody’s All-Around Impact
Moses Moody played one of his best games of the season, finishing with 17 points and a career-high six assists. He showcased his versatility by making key plays on both ends of the floor, helping the Warriors maintain control. Moody’s development has been a bright spot for the team, as he continues to carve out a larger role in the rotation. His contributions will be vital as Golden State looks to sustain its momentum.
Historic Milestones for Curry and Kerr
Stephen Curry made history by becoming the first player in NBA history to hit 4,000 career three-pointers. While he finished with a modest 11 points, his milestone was a defining moment in the game. Meanwhile, head coach Steve Kerr secured his 557th win with the franchise, tying Hall of Famer Al Attles for the most coaching victories in Warriors’ history. Both achievements highlighted the long-term success and stability of the Warriors organization.
Warriors' Elite Shooting Performance
Golden State dominated offensively, shooting an impressive 57.7% from the field and 56.4% from three-point range. Their sharpshooting allowed them to build and maintain a comfortable lead throughout the game. Eight Warriors players scored in double figures, demonstrating the team’s depth and unselfish ball movement. This balanced attack made it difficult for the Kings’ defense to key in on any single player.
Kings Struggle Without Sabonis
The Sacramento Kings faced difficulties without star center Sabonis, who missed his sixth consecutive game due to a strained left hamstring. In his absence, the Kings struggled defensively and on the boards. DeMar DeRozan led Sacramento with 23 points, but the team lacked sufficient support to contend with the Warriors' balanced attack. This loss further complicates the Kings' position in the Western Conference standings as they navigate ongoing injury challenges.
Looking Ahead
With this dominant victory, the Warriors continue their surge in the Western Conference playoff race. They have found a rhythm on both ends of the floor, with improved chemistry and contributions from key role players. As the regular season winds down, Golden State will look to maintain this level of play to secure a strong postseason position. Their next challenge will test whether they can sustain this momentum against tougher competition.
