Then there are the mistakes and bad decisions that don't show up in the box score as turnovers. The ill-advised shots, the passing up of an open shot in order to take a more difficult one after some dribbling. Those are the type of mistakes that kill the Kings. It's what leads to stretches like in the 4th quarter when the Kings didn't score until the 6:43 mark, and by that time, all the momentum was going the Warriors way and despite the sincerest efforts of Isaiah "Cold Blooded" Thomas, the Kings couldn't come back.

Tyreke had a near triple-double with a game-high 22 points (14 of which came in the 2nd quarter alone), 10 rebounds, 9 assists, and 3 steals. DeMarcus Cousins also posted a good stat line with another double-double of 21 points (12 of which came in the 1st quarter) and 14 rebounds. Neither player had nearly as big of an impact in the second half as they did in the first.

The Warriors bench took a 68-67 deficit going into the fourth and got it to 83-72 halfway through the quarter. A few minutes later and the lead grew to 88-76 with 3:28 left. This is where Isaiah Thomas comes in. Isaiah went on to score all 11 of his points in the final 2:45 seconds, including 3 three pointers, the prettiest of which was a high arcing fadeaway that just missed being blocked with 2.8 seconds left to cut the lead to one.

Unfortunately for the Kings, they were out of timeouts, and as such had to run up the entire length of the court with just 2.2 seconds left after Brandon Rush made both of his Free Throws. The team got the ball into the right person's hand, but Tyreke's halfcourt heave was off-target.

All in all, this was a game the Kings should have won. The Warriors star players were stopped pretty effectively, and the Kings dominated the glass (53 to 38). The Kings also had 19 attempts at the line to just 13 for Golden State. Sacramento also shot 42.7% to the Warriors 40.7%. But sloppy play and better effort by the Warriors down the stretch translated into a Warriors victory.
