Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox dropped 38 points on the Warriors in his playoff debut, leading Sacramento to its first postseason win since 2006.
Kings fans were treated to an epic victory in a close matchup against the reigning champions, and just after the dust settled, Fox joined team owner Vivek Ranadive at midcourt for the beloved tradition of lighting the beam.
It was an awesome moment for fans in Sacramento, who had been waiting to light the beam after a home playoff game since 2006. That 17-year dry spell has come to an end, and it was clear how much it meant to the fan base to see them secure the Game 1 victory.
