The Sacramento Kings' first playoff game was as loud as expected. Then it got louder.
In their first playoff game since 2006, the Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-123 in Game 1 to take an early advantage in the first-round series between the NBA's defending champions and high-flying upstarts.
De'Aaron Fox didn't need much time to acclimate to the playoffs in his first career appearance, going off for 38 points, five assists and three steals. The energy was palpable in the Golden 1 Center before tip-off. Not only were the Kings facing the NBA's most dominant team of the last decade, they were facing their closest rival. It was personal, and you could hear it from the nosebleeds.
