The Sacramento Kings won their home opener against the Utah Jazz by a narrow margin of one point. As it turns out, it was a historic moment. This was the first time the Kings won a home opening game in the Golden 1 Center in front of an actual crowd.
Golden 1 Center opened its doors in 2017 as part of Vivek Ranadive's efforts to keep the Kings in Sacramento. The Kings have been in Sactown since 1985, but there have long been rumors of the franchise moving. It is considered to be a smaller market by some.
