In a pivotal NBA play-in game, the Golden State Warriors faced a crushing defeat to the Sacramento Kings, with a final score of 118-94. This loss not only ended the Warriors' season but also marked a potentially career-altering night for Klay Thompson, who went scoreless, shooting 0 for 10 from the field and 0 for 6 from three-point range. The game has stirred discussions about the end of the Warriors' dynasty and Thompson's future with the team, as he is set to hit free agency. The Kings' victory was highlighted by Keegan Murray's impressive performance, scoring 32 points with 8 three-pointers, and supported by De'Aaron Fox's 24 points and Domantas Sabonis's double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Kings will next face the New Orleans Pelicans for the 8th seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
