Warriors finish preseason with a victory over Kings

With a strong performance from Stephen Curry and his new-look supporting cast, the Warriors on Thursday night beat the Kings 113-109 in Sacramento in their final game of the preseason.

Curry scored 29 points and newcomer Kelly Oubre Jr. added 22 to lead the Warriors.

The Warriors, who went 2-1 in the

abbreviated preseason, open their regular season Tuesday night at Brooklyn. It will be their first encounter with Kevin Durant since he left the Warriors as a free agent after a tension-filled 2018-19 season.

Curry and Oubre, along with Andrew Wiggins (19 points, four rebounds, three assists and three blocks), helped create shots, push the pace and limit Sacramento’s perimeter scorers.

Forward Harrison Barnes led the Kings with 19 points and five rebounds.

For conditioning reasons, Draymond Green and James Wiseman did not play at all in the preseason after testing positive for the coronavirus prior to training camp.
