Incredible offensive game by Draymond, as he scores 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting. First time he’s had a 20-point game since Christmas 2019.
Curry finishes with 31, Thompson with 25. Wiggins adds 20. – 12:44 AM

Steph Curry went right to Andrew Wiggins after completing that dagger and-1. Wiggins hit the late clock pullback fadeaway a possession earlier. Warriors up 122-114 with 22 seconds left in Sacramento. – 12:40 AM

Fifteen for De’Aaron Fox in his first 12 minutes. Touch and aggressiveness both there. Steph Curry starting to crank it up on the other end after a quiet start. Twelve in 13 minutes. – 10:49 PM

There is only one day off between Game 5 and 6 and G6 and G7 in this series. It’s part of the thought process for Steve Kerr minute wise. Said he’d like to keep Steph Curry around 38. Five minutes of rest each half. But game may dictate differently. pic.twitter.com/yBGeshRuoG – 8:38 PM

Kylen Mills: Bob Myers said on @957thegame when talking about Draymond Green coming off the bench in game 4 that Steph Curry really set the tone coming off the bench in the team’s 1st round matchup last year. Curry set an example for the team – if our superstar can do it, so can I. #dubnation -via Twitter @KylenMills / April 26, 2023
