Game 26: Golden State Warriors 127, Sacramento Kings 131
Highlights: jump-pass out of alley-oop
Game Score: 26.4
Box Score: 29 points (12-17 field goals, 5-6 free throws), 8 rebounds (4 offensive), 5 assists (2 turnovers), 1 steal (4 fouls) in 44 minutes (0)
Story: There wasn’t much defense in this game, as both teams posted True Shooting percentages over 60%. Still, Lee was a bright spot in an inexcusable albeit fluky loss. Half of his rebounds were offensive, he torched the kings and took care of the ball. (Note: The highlights are misleading as the Warriors actually made more threes than the Kings. They lost the game in the paint, where the Kings took 42 free throws to the Warriors’ 25.)
