In their first playoff look since 2006, the Sacramento Kings claimed an exciting 126-123 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their first-round sequence tonight.
De’Aaron Fox had the rabid Sacramento crowd in raptures as he went off for 38 factors, 5 assists and three steals in his playoff debut.
Here’s how the NBA world reacted:

The no Steph no Draymond lineup has killed the Warriors. Not good from Kerr.

I’ll by no means agree with them subbing out Steph earlier than the top of the third. Especially after he simply hit a 3 after not getting many nice appears all recreation.

Kings unintentionally color-coordinating their complete crowd with the soldiers jerseys reveals they haven’t been to the playoffs in 16 years… #rookiemistake

The first day of the playoffs gave us the very best recreation of the season up to now. I’m prepared for 2 extra months of this!
(I am unable to consider the Kings gained with Sabonis and Huerter each enjoying their worst video games of the season. What an evening for Kings followers. Light the beam.)
