The Golden State Warriors lost on Wednesday night, falling 121-116 to the Sacramento Kings on a night where Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler III, Draymond Green, Domantas Sabonis, and Zach LaVine were all sidelined. It was a fun and entertaining game, but the young bench mob ultimately blew a double-digit lead en route to the team’s fourth loss of the year.
It’s always fun to see how the community reacts to a game, even a loss. So here’s a look at the live reactions on Wednesday, as seen through the Golden State of Mindgame thread.
First quarter: ‘Love the active hands’
The Dubs got off to a hot start, with both Will Richard and Jonathan Kuminga catching fire as the team built up a double-digit lead. They ended the quarter poorly, though, but still lead 32-25.
Second quarter: ‘The difference between the teams is Will Richard’
It was an up-and-down second quarter, which once again ended poorly. But the Warriors had the advantage at halftime, 62-57.
Third quarter: ‘Complete mental breakdown’
The third quarter was where things went off the rails, as the team lost control of the game and played so sloppily. They trailed 92-85 entering the final fram.
Fourth quarter: ‘Baby Dubs are unraveling’
The Warriors made a lot of pushes in the fourth quarter, but ultimately were doomed by sloppy play and youthful mistakes.
