The Kings trapped the ball out of Steph Curry’s hands all night — often at halfcourt — and he responded by dishing a season-high 12 assists. Andrew Wiggins poured in 25 and Gui Santos (16 points) provided a major lift off the bench. But DeMar DeRozan (32 points, 24 in the second half) was too much for the short-handed Warriors to overcome.

Wiggins went for a team-high 25 points for the Warriors, making five of his 11 3-point attempts. Buddy Hield added five threes on a 17-point night and Gui Santos made four threes among 16 points off the bench as Golden State shot 22-for-48 from deep.

The Kings have been led by star big man Domantas Sabonis during their hot streak, who is putting together another All-Star-caliber season. Other players like DeMar DeRozan, Keon Ellis, and Keegan Murray have stepped up tremendously, especially as All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox battles through injuries.
