Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:07:38 GMT

SACRAMENTO — Two turnovers in the game’s final 44 seconds cost the Warriors a win in Sacramento on Tuesday night. The Warriors lost 124-123 to the Kings on Malik Monk’s fadeaway banked jumpshot, squandering a 24-point lead they held in the first half. With that, the Kings won Group C of the in-season tournament.The Warriors had a four-point lead with 44 second remaining. But Steph Curry was picked off by Monk, who hit a 3-pointer. The next possession, Draymond Green passed a ball out of bounds that led to Monk’s game winner. The Warriors had 18 turnovers.Until the second half, it was plausible that the Warriors could win Group C of the in-season tournament.

That all went out the window as the Warriors committed 31 personal fouls and the Kin...

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists and added the shootout winner as the Edmonton Oilers got a measure of revenge for last year’s second-round playoff loss to Vegas, defeating the Golden Knights 5-4 on Tuesday night.“We’ll take wins any way we can get them at this point.

I think we can feel it. I think what we have seen out of our last three (games) and it is something to build off of,” he said.McDavid has recorded 12 points in his last three games.
