The Warriors had four 20-point scorers in their 132-108 victory over the Kings in Sacramento on Friday. Moses Moody and Buddy Hield led the way with 22 points each, with Brandin Podziemski adding 21 points and Stephen Curry scoring 20 points. The Dubs led by as many as 29 points, sank 20 3-pointers and had 40 assists on their 50 made field goals. Defensively, they forced 20 turnovers and won the points off turnovers battle 38-5.
With the win, the Warriors snapped a five-game losing streak against the Kings and moved a full game ahead for ninth place in the Western Conference.
MOODY'S SEASON-HIGH PERFORMANCE
Moses Moody started at the power forward position on Friday and ended with a season-high 22 points. Moody was extremely efficient, shooting 8-for-11 from the field and sinking a season-high-tying five 3-pointers. The fourth-year wing has scored in double figures in 13 of his last 15 games and credits consistent playing time for his current rhythm.
SECOND GAME THIS SEASON WITH 40+ ASSISTS
The Warriors' ball movement was on full display, as they had 40 assists on their 50 made field goals. Friday's game marked their second game with 40-plus assists this season and they finished one shy of their season-high in that category. Their star trio of Draymond Green (9 assists), Jimmy Butler (7 assists) and Stephen Curry (6 assists) set the tone in this regard, combining for 22 assists. Just as impressively, the trio combined for just three turnovers — two from Green, one from Curry and none from Butler.
POST SHOWS OUT FOR HIS POPS
Rookie center Quinten Post was lethal from behind the arc, shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from three in the second quarter. Post carried extra motivation in this game, with his father witnessing his first-ever NBA game in person. He led all reserves in plus-minus, at a plus-19 in 14 minutes of action.
CURRY THE SHOWMAN
Stephen Curry put on a show in Sacramento — yet again — with numerous highlight-reel moments. In the first quarter, he aggressively ripped the ball away from forward Keegan Murray and dimed up Draymond Green with a no-look assist in transition. In the fourth quarter, he hit a pair of electric splashes, one heavily contested look-away buzzer beater from the corner and a lethal step back from the top of the key. Curry's 20-point night was the 700th of his career.
