Two days after winning a game in which they never trailed and held a lead as large as 53 points, the Warriors had a tougher go of it on Thursday, but ultimately pulled out a 105-96 victory over the Sacramento Kings in a preseason game in San Jose.
Kevin Durant led all scorers with 25 points in 26 minutes of action before giving way to Golden State’s reserves for the entire fourth quarter, and thanks to a fourth quarter comeback by those reserves, the Warriors managed to overcome a sloppy performance in which they committed 24 turnovers. The win is Golden State’s second in a row, and improves their preseason record to 2-1.
