SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Devin Carter scored a career-high 29 points and the
Sacramento Kings missed an opportunity to improve their draft position by
beating the Golden State Warriors 124-118 on Friday night.
The Kings remained tied with Utah for the fourth-worst record in the NBA this
season, matching a win by the Jazz earlier in the night.
Maxime Raynaud added 23 points for Sacramento in the final home game of the
season.
Brandon Podziemski scored a career-high 30 points to lead the Warriors, who
used the game as a tuneup for next week's play-in tournament.
This was just the second game that Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis played
together for Golden State after the two had about eight minutes on the court at
the same time on Sunday against Houston in Curry's first game after missing 27
games with a knee injury.
Coach Steve Kerr said before the game he wanted the two to get as much time as
possible in the final two games of the regular season. Golden State is assured
the 10th seed in the Western Conference and will need to win two play-in games
to make the playoffs.
Curry and Porzingis each scored 11.
The game got chippy in the third quarter with two flagrant fouls and two
technical fouls --- including one on Curry from the bench --- as the Warriors
turned a 14-point deficit early in the quarter into a seven-point lead headed
into the fourth.
But the Kings rallied for the win.
Golden State's Gary Payton II got a second technical foul in the fourth quarter
and was ejected.
Warriors rookie guard LJ Cryer missed the game with a mild ankle sprain and
will be re-evaluated in one week.
