Of their first playoff look since 2006, the Sacramento Kings claimed an exhilarating 126-123 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Recreation 1 of their first-round collection tonight.
De’Aaron Fox had the rabid Sacramento crowd in raptures as he went off for 38 factors, 5 assists and three steals in his playoff debut.
Right here’s how the NBA world reacted:

Only a transcendent Fox efficiency. Not possible to defend. Payton was the one man who got here even near staying in entrance of him. That was on the Nineties peak KJ degree of downhill unstoppable.

If Draymond retains fouling at this price the Kings can be in Sabonis. pic.twitter.com/EQ4ESlqO1P

The no Steph no Draymond lineup has killed the Warriors. Not good from Kerr.

I’ll by no means agree with them subbing out Steph earlier than the top of the third. Particularly after he simply hit a 3 after not getting many nice appears all sport.

Kings by chance color-coordinating their complete crowd with the soldiers jerseys reveals they haven’t been to the playoffs in 16 years… #rookiemistake

The primary day of the playoffs gave us one of the best sport of the season thus far. I am prepared for 2 extra months of this!
(I can not imagine the Kings received with Sabonis and Huerter each enjoying their worst video games of the season. What an evening for Kings followers. Gentle the beam.)
