Three reasons for Sacramento’s Game 6 win, and why the Warriors might be in trouble in Game 7

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:47:11 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors cut the deficit to five with under four minutes to go in the third quarter, only to see the Sacramento Kings respond with back-to-back 3-pointers. Steph Curry then scored six points in just over a minute in the fourth quarter, right before the Kings responded with a 9-3 run.The Kings’ overall postseason résumé is not nearly as decorated as their Northern California neighbors, but they looked like the more poised and experienced team Friday in a 118-99 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of their first-round series at Chase Center.Golden State fell behind in the second quarter and never fully recovered, setting up a do-or-die Game 7 against a younger — and possibly hungrier — Kings team Sunday in Sacramento.“I feel like we were in control basically the entire game tonight,” said Kings guard De’Aaron Fox, who has a fractured index finger but looked good Friday with 26 points. “From start to finish, I feel like this is probably the best game that we...

MADRID (AP) — Second-seeded Daniil Medvedev advanced to the third round of the Madrid Open after beating qualifier Andrea Vavassori 6-4, 6-3 on Saturday in the Russian’s first match of the tournament.The third-ranked Medvedev leads the men’s circuit with four titles won this season, all on hard courts. He is considered the top challenger to defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who fought back to beat Emil Ruusuvuori in three sets in his opener on Friday.Medvedev, however, said he is keeping his expectations in check given the surface is not his best.“I will try my best as always,” Medvedev said. “Today I felt very good on the court, and on the rallies I was in control and that is very important on clay.”The 164th-ranked Vavassori upset two-time Madrid winner Andy Murray in the previous round.The Italian played well early on and forced Medvedev to save three break points. But the former U.S. Open winner took control by breaking his opponent on his last service game of the first s...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:47:11 GMT

Caleb Kilian’s first taste of the big leagues didn’t play out as the right-hander hoped.Kilian allowed 13 earned runs in 11⅓ innings over three starts for the Chicago Cubs in June. A left knee issue bothered him the rest of the season at Triple-A Iowa where he posted a 5.37 ERA in his final 16 starts.
