Warriors 2023 NBA Playoff Series
Kings Upset Warriors in First Round
Murray Leads Kings to Victory
In a thrilling first-round NBA playoff series, the Sacramento Kings upset the defending champion Golden State Warriors in a 4-1 series victory. The Kings, led by sophomore star Keegan Murray, rallied from an 0-2 deficit to win the series and advance to the second round.
Murray was the driving force behind the Kings' victory, averaging 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. He had a game-high 32 points in the series-clinching Game 5 victory, connecting on 8-of-13 three-pointers.
De'Aaron Fox also played a crucial role for the Kings, averaging 22 points and 6 assists per game. He had a key 24-point performance in Game 5 to help seal the victory.
The Warriors, who were missing injured star Stephen Curry for most of the series, struggled to find their rhythm. Klay Thompson averaged 21 points per game, but was inconsistent from the field.
Despite the disappointing end to their season, the Warriors' 28-straight playoff series wins is a testament to the dominance of their core trio of Curry, Green, and Thompson.
