The game was an offensive showcase, with both teams displaying remarkable shooting accuracy. The Kings shot an impressive 53 percent from the field and an even more remarkable 46 percent from beyond the arc. Their free throw performance was equally strong, hitting 84 percent of their shots from the line. The team's efficiency was on full display as they amassed a total of 33 assists throughout the game.


Sacramento's scoring was well-distributed among players, but it was their three-point shooting that truly stood out. They made a staggering 22 three-pointers out of 48 attempts, contributing significantly to their overall score. Inside scoring also played a key role in their offense with an effective points in paint percentage of 64.


Defensively, while there were challenges containing Golden State's shooters who managed to sink half of their three-point attempts and scored more than half of their two-point shots inside paint, Sacramento managed to hold its ground by collecting eight steals and blocking five shots during critical moments.


The bench provided valuable support for Sacramento as well, contributing a solid 22 points to help secure this tight victory. Moreover, they capitalized on turnovers by adding another crucial dozen points off Golden State's mistakes.
