“You just hope that Stephen Curry misses, I mean, that’s the game plan”: Kings’ rookie Davion Mitchell and the Warriors’ superstar exchange praises for each-other after a well-fought game

Warriors’ Stephen Curry and Kings’ Davion Mitchell are all praise for each other, as the Warriors take down Kings 119-107

The Golden State Warriors have proven themselves to be the rightful rulers of California once again. In the very first week of the new season, they have taken down the Lakers, the Clippers, and the Kings. The matchup against the Kings was a highly anticipated one. Whenever the Warriors face the Kings, it’s almost always a close game and a thrilling encounter.

The game did not disappoint. Even though the Dubs won 119-107, it was never a one-sided encounter, till the 4th quarter. Stephen Curry led the way, scoring 27 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and dishing 10 assists. While securing the win, Steph also managed to break a few records. The Kings’ rookie Davion Mitchell, while he wasn’t as efficient on his defense, had a tremendous offensive game.

Well, one has to keep in mind we are talking about the league’s deadliest scorer. Considering the same, I’d say the Kings’ rook did a good job.
