In a matchup of one young superteam and the superteam, the superteam came out on top, but by a squeak. The Kings failed to get a defensive rebound twice, leading to Klay Thompson getting the game-sealing basket. A deflected inbounds pass with 0.3 seconds remaining ended the way we didn’t want, but aren’t necessarily surprised about. Overall, it was still a fun back and forth matchup that didn’t go the Kings way.
The first quarter ended 29-28, with everything being a pretty even matchup. Klay Thompson didn’t have 37 points this quarter, which is good.
