After Tatum delivered a high-level performance, the fans saw the true strength of the Kings for the first time.
Or more accurately, they saw the long-range firepower of this Kings team.
Hansen, Mitchell, and Tatum took turns attacking the Warriors' inside, putting immense pressure on their interior defense while also disabling their efficient defensive rotations.
Hield also seized the opportunity on the perimeter, hitting consecutive three-pointers.
However, there is a reason the Warriors managed to take the top spot in the West this season. The Splash Brothers plus George on the perimeter provide equally formidable firepower.
The fans who came to Golden One Arena tonight, including some who specially traveled from the Bay Area to watch this "derby", were in for a treat as they witnessed a high-scoring duel.
The third quarter saw both teams evenly matched, and by the fourth quarter, they were still neck and neck.
