SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors 124-118 on Friday night at Golden 1 Center, after Stephen Curry slipped on a wet spot, briefly left the game with an ankle tweak and returned to finish with 11 points in 27 minutes while Brandin Podziemski scored a career-high 30. The brief injury scare prompted an on-court timeout called by coach Steve Kerr and a bench evaluation by medical director Rick Celebrini; Golden State remains locked into the No.10 seed and will prepare for the win-or-go-home play-in matchup this week, while the Kings gained momentum from Devin Carter’s six 3-pointers and 29-point outing.
