Warriors @ Kings... R.I.P.

Well this was a typical Warrior game... The Warriors who lead the league 3pt shots a game, definitely lived up to there potential, but that's why this game was different. Ron Artest and the Kings were able to slow down the pace of the game by taking the Run and Gun offense of the Warriors down to a half court game, which isn't supposed to be there game. With 5 minutes to go and down by 4, both Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson had 5 fouls each and 1 technical each(Both of the technicals were the first of the year for either players or any Warrior). At that point in time i thought it was over with our best players on the edge of fouling out. With that in mind the Kings began to start shooting outside shots and not taking it to the hole to attempt to pick up any fouls on Davis or Jackson.


In the end the Warriors held the Kings to 2/23 shooting in the 4th quarter and won by 7 point, 103 - 96. Stephen Jackson sparked the comeback with 2 consecutive 3's in the final 2 minutes. The Warriors ended up shooting 8/31 from 3pt, and beat the Kings at there own game.
Jackson had 22, Ellis had 21, and Baron had 19. This game definitely goes to Matt Barnes who played his heart out, just one day after the passing of his mother. Barnes had a season high 9 rebounds that game.
