DeRozan scored 17 points in the third quarter as the Kings outscored the Warriors 37-20 to tie the game. Sacramento shot 57.7% from the field while holding Golden State to 40%. The Kings forced eight turnovers in the third, resulting in a 13-0 advantage in points off turnovers.
Multi-time All-Stars and 2024 Olympians Jewell Loyd and Kelsey Plum are changing locations in a massive three-team deal that will send Loyd to the Las Vegas Aces, Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks and a collection of assets to the Seattle Storm that includes the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft.
But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.
