The Kings enjoyed a big win over the Warriors on Saturday night, taking down the defending champions, 126-123, in their first playoff game in 17 years. De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk led the way, as the duo combined for 70 points in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
After the game, Warriors forward Draymond Green went on his podcast to discuss the loss in Sacramento, and although he gave both Fox and Monk credit, he said Golden State needs to do a better job limiting both players, especially Monk.
“De’Aaron Fox may get 38 points, but you can’t give up 32 to Malik Monk off the bench,” Green said. “Now, Malik’s an incredible player. He was 2for–4 from three so it wasn’t the three-point line, but he got downhill and put a lot of pressure on our defense.”
