The NBA preseason continues with a spotlight game, where the Sacramento Kings welcome the Golden State Warriors at home. This is the Kings' first preseason appearance, and many are eager to see how the team's dynamics evolve with newcomers such as DeRozan. The Warriors, who edged out the Clippers by 1 point in their last game, claimed their initial preseason win. In this contest, Curry remains in the starting lineup for the Warriors, while DeRozan starts for the Kings alongside Murray, Sabonis, Ellis, and Fox, forming a highly potent offensive unit.

In the first quarter, DeRozan demonstrated his pre-game claims were accurate, showing excellent synergy with Sabonis, particularly in pick-and-roll situations that posed significant threats. DeRozan took charge of the team's offense, scoring 10 points on his first four attempts without missing, all via mid-range shots following coordinated plays, truly living up to his "Mid-range King" reputation. The Kings continued to revolve their offense around Sabonis, launching a surge that forced the Warriors to call a timeout. After regrouping, the Warriors adjusted their approach, increasing Curry's offensive involvement and gradually closing the gap, relying once again on their signature three-point shooting. The Warriors launched 10 three-point attempts in the opening quarter, hitting 5, and ended the period leading 31-27 by 4 points.

The second quarter saw both teams playing with high intensity, far beyond typical preseason levels, delivering quality offense and executing their desired strategies. The Warriors fully displayed their "three-point shooting squad" prowess, firing 17 three-pointers in the quarter with impressive accuracy, connecting on 10, and racking up another 35 points. On the Kings' side, DeRozan maintained his flawless shooting touch, tallying 15 points by halftime. Unlike the Warriors, the Kings focused their offense on interior plays, missing only two shots from inside the three-point line in this quarter, also amassing 41 points. At halftime, the Warriors trailed 55-60 by 5 points.

After switching sides in the third quarter, both teams removed all their starters. The Warriors persisted with their perimeter-oriented style, launching another 9 three-point attempts! The Kings also attempted to match the Warriors' outside shooting, but their performance was not on the same level, making only 2 out of 9 attempts. The Warriors added 34 points in the quarter, overtaking and widening the lead. By the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led 100-91 by 9 points.

In the final quarter, the Warriors essentially deployed their third-string lineup, with minimal coordination among players, relying mostly on individual plays. The Kings' rotation players performed more effectively, frequently penetrating the paint to create opportunities and narrowing the deficit to 3 points. At crucial moments, Warriors players once again leveraged their outside shooting to extend the lead, ultimately defeating their opponents 122-112 to secure their second consecutive preseason win.

In this game, Curry played 15 minutes and 41 seconds, making 5 out of 8 shots, including 3 out of 6 three-pointers, scoring 13 points with continued efficiency. The new addition Hield, in 19 and a half minutes, shot 8 out of 9, including 6 out of 7 three-pointers, contributing 22 points; his arrival sufficiently fills the void in perimeter firepower left by Klay's departure. Li Kaier played 20 minutes, recording 3 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. On the Kings' side, DeRozan shot 6 for 6 in the first half, scoring 15 points.
