Are The Warriors Out Of The Nba Playoffs

Sacramento Kings Rout Warriors, Sending Golden State Home

Warriors' Playoff Hopes Dashed After 118-94 Loss

Young Reserves Lead Warriors in Defeat

The Sacramento Kings crushed the playoff dreams of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, eliminating the 2022 champions with an emphatic 118-94 victory. Despite a valiant effort from young reserves Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, who each contributed 16 points, it wasn't enough to overcome a dominant performance from the Kings.

Keegan Murray led the charge for Sacramento with 32 points, while DeAaron Fox added 24. The Warriors, who were without injured star Klay Thompson, struggled throughout the game, unable to match the intensity and execution of their opponents.

The shocking defeat marks the end of Golden State's playoff hopes for the 2024 NBA season. The team, which has won four championships in the past eight years, will now shift its focus to the NBA Draft and the 2025 season.

The Warriors, despite their disappointing playoff performance, secured a Play-In Tournament berth earlier this month. They will face the Memphis Grizzlies in a single-elimination game for the chance to advance to the first round of the playoffs.

The Kings, on the other hand, have punched their ticket to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. They will face the Phoenix Suns in the first round, a rematch of their heated regular season series.
