The Sacramento Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors 114-106 to take a 2-0 lead over the NBA champions after a bruising game two of their best-of-seven Western Conference first-round playoff series.
De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis led Sacramento with 24 points apiece in an encounter that saw Warriors forward Draymond Green ejected for appearing to stamp on the chest of a fallen Sabonis, who had held on to Green's ankle.
"We came out here and everyone fought, we were locked in," Sabonis said.
He was reluctant to be drawn on the fourth-quarter incident with Green.
"We were both fighting for the rebound, we fell on each other, stuff happens, it's basketball," Sabonis said. "We've got to move on to the next play."
"I've got to land my foot somewhere," Green explained. "I can only step so far when I'm pulling my leg away."
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 28 points, while Andrew Wiggins finished with 22 and Klay Thompson 21.
Elsewhere, Tyrese Maxey scored 33 points, including six three-point shots, as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets 96-84 to take a 2-0 series lead.
Joel Embiid, double-teamed throughout, finished with 20 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists for the 76ers.
Cameron Johnson led the Brooklyn with 28 points, while Mikal Bridges finished with 21 and Spencer Dinwiddie 12.
