If there are Warriors fans in Arco, they're pretty quiet right now.

Pass inside to Biedrins and Miller hands out the really hard foul to help Biedrins clear out the cobwebs in his brain...

Biedrins at the line. Misses first; makes second.

Udrih to Salmons, who works on Jackson, gets clear, takes the shot and is fouled by Jackson. 4PF. Grant says the earlier technical was on Jackson, not Nelson...

Salmons to the line.

 

[VF21]

Salmons makes first; and some idiot Warriors fan yells "brick" as he shoots. Salmons makes second.

74-60 KINGS

GSW ball. Miller and Biedrins really mixing it up in the paint and the officials call a foul on Miller. I think Brad was just being friendly.

84-70 KINGS

Another GSW lay-up for two more.

84-72 KINGS

Martin inside, he takes a really hard foul and he's on the floor in pain. You could hear his head hit the court. Pete Youngman RUNS to the court. Replay shows it's not as bad as we might have thought but he's limping pretty badly...

Time out.

 

[VF21]

Grant and Jerry talking to Gary Gerould. Gerould says Martin waived Youngman away and says, "I'm okay." That is scary stuff...

He was sandwiched in the paint, knocked off balance, and landed on his tailbone it looked like to me. He didn't bounce his head on the court...

 

[VF21]

Martin to the line to shoot two...

Misses first; makes second. Bobby Brown commits an intentiol foul so Martin can leave the court and head to the locker room.



Brown, Jackson, Hawes, Salmons and Miller for the Kings.

Jackson, Brown, Hawes, Thompson and Salmons for the Kings.

Jason Thompson called for the offensive foul inside as he tries to get past the defender in the paint. He really needs, as Jerry points out, to develop a shot with his off hand.

Good defense by the Kings. Randolph throws himself into Miller and Hawes and bounces back about 10 feet. Officials call Miller for the foul but Randolph clearly initiated all the contact. Theus arguing with the official over the call... oops. I mean "discussing" the call.

Randolph makes both but I bet he has a headache on the ride home.

109-96 KINGS

Hawes with the ball, trapped. Turnover. GSW ball.

[VF21]

Bobby killing the clock. Jackson takes a shot at the 24th second. Shot clock violation. That will leave 0.5 seconds.

GSW inbounds. That's it. Buzzer sounds.

115-98 KINGS

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

And as Theus walks off the court, Francisco walks up and drapes his right arm around Theus' shoulder. They head for the locker room...

here's hopig our resilient Kevin Martin will be okay.

Grant and Jerry talking to Bobby Brown, who had 13 points and 3 assists.

GOOD effort by the Kings, despite the apparent lack of defense. We never seem to play defense against any team of Nellie's anyway, so this really isn't anything different.
