Curry and Looney Too Much for Kings, Ending Magical Season: Game 7 Recap & Takeaways
capcitycrown.substack.com
On their home floor, the Kings collapsed in the second half at the hands of the Warriors and Steph Curry’s historic performance by a score of 100-120, dropping game seven and putting an end to a hell of a season. After leading by 2 points at halftime, Golden State dominated the second half 64-42. Outside of Curry, the main reason was the Kevon Looney-lead effort to grab 18 offensive rebounds for 24 second chance points—the clear indication of the more physical team—with 16 of those (and 18 second points) coming in the final two periods. The turnovers were more balanced with Sacramento committing 8 to their opponent’s 7, but the Warriors scored 11 points off compared to Sac’s 5. Topping it off, the Warriors had 25 assists after having their ball movement limited while also holding the Kings to just 2 fast break points. Oh, and Sac went just 16 of 27 (59.3%) from the free throw line.
