The Sacramento Kings couldn’t finish the job against the reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors, after all. The Warriors got a comfortable 120-100 win in Game 7 on Sunday night, closing out the first-round series and eliminating the Kings from the playoffs.

The Warriors were led to the win by their superstar Stephen Curry, who delivered a performance for the history books. Curry scored 50 points, setting the record for most points by a player in Game 7 in NBA playoffs history. The previous record was held by Curry’s former teammate Kevin Durant, who had 48 while playing for the Brooklyn Nets against the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021 Eastern Conference semifinals.

Curry finished the night shooting 20-of-38 while making seven three out of 18 attempts. He also added eight rebounds and seven assists.

“There is a reason he is a two-time MVP, a Finals MVP because he pushes us over the top in moments like this,” said Curry’s teammate Klay Thompson. “When he’s in the zone like that, you try to just get him in his spots, get him the ball and get out of the way. This is a Game 7 I will forever remember as the Steph Curry game.”

The Warriors are now set to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round. The Lakers previously ousted the Memphis Grizzlies in six games.

The Kings, on the other hand, can feel good about their season despite the early elimination. They have played in the postseason for the first time in 17 years and have shown that they can compete against the best teams in the league by pushing the reigning NBA champs to seven games.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is sizzling hot to start the 2021-22 NBA season. This was more than obvious on Monday when Curry torched the Atlanta Hawks with 50 points to give his team a 127-113 win.

Curry had a stellar shooting night from the long-range that saw him make nine three-pointers from 19 attempts. He was also perfect from the free-throw line, sinking all 13 tries. And the 33-year-old managed to do all of this despite injuring his left shoulder early in the first quarter.

Curry finished the Hawks game by adding 10 assists, which made him just the third player in the franchise history to do so in a 50 points game. Only Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry managed to do it before him.

Speaking with reporters after the game, the Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was in awe of Curry’s outing.

“That was just a stunning performance by Steph,” Kerr said via ESPN. “He was amazing. I want to say I’ve never seen anything like it, but I’ve been watching it for seven years, so I have seen something like it and still it’s just incredible to watch.”

Stephen Curry has been an early MVP candidate this season and is currently averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 assists, and career-high 6.6 rebounds per game. His performances helped the Warriors to get on top of the Western Conference, and they currently hold a league-best 9-1 record.
