Led by Stephen Curry’s 31 points and 8 assists, the No. 6 seed Golden State Warriors defeated the No. 3 seed Sacramento Kings in Game 5, 123-116. Klay Thompson (25 points) and Draymond Green (21 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals) added a combined 46 points for the Warriors in the victory, while De’Aaron Fox tallied 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists for the Kings. The Warriors lead this best-of-seven series, 3-2, with Game 6 taking place on Friday, April 28 (8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Stephen Curry is now the 5th player in NBA history (6th instance) with 3 straight 30+ point games at age 35 or older, joining:
Michael Jordan (05/10/1998 - 05/23/1998): 5 Games
Michael Jordan (04/24/1998 - 05/03/1998): 4 Games
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (04/24/1983 - 05/01/1983): 4 Games
LeBron James (08/22/2020 - 08/29/2020): 3 Games
Reggie Miller (04/24/2001 - 05/02/2001): 3 Games

De'Aaron Fox (150 points, 37 assists, 31 rebounds) is the first player in NBA history to total 150 points+, 30+ assists, and 30+ rebounds in their first 5 career Playoff games.

Tonight marks the first time that Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all scored 20 or more points in a Playoff game since May 16, 2016 vs the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Kevon Looney is the first Warrior with multiple 20+ rebound games in a single Playoff series since Nate Thurmond (1972, Western Conference Semifinals vs. The Bucks)

Tonight's win in Sacramento gives the Warriors 28 straight Playoff series with a road win. The only other team that has a streak of 20 series or more with a road win is the Miami Heat, who had 23 straight series from 2011-20.
