The Warriors had one hell of a meltdown against the Kings on Tuesday night.
Golden State needed to beat Sacramento by 12 points or more to advance to the knockout round of the In-Season Tournament, and they led by as much as 24. Then disaster struck, as they proceeded to choke away their lead, ultimately losing outright 124-123 on a Malik Monk game-winner.
Here’s how the NBA world is reacting:
WHAT A GAME!!!

Worst night of a horrible stretch for the Warriors.
*Blow a 24-point lead
*Chris Paul, Gary Payton II leave with injuries
*Kerr goes away from Moody while he was on a heater
*Two Curry/Draymond turnovers in final minute give Kings life
*Lose 4th quarter 29-19
*Record: 8-10— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) November 29, 2023

Relative to tonight, the Warriors really miss the steady decision-making of Jordan Poole https://t.co/A7gky1dvqC
