De'Aaron Fox started off slow when Draymond Green was guarding and hounding him, but soon after started to get a feel for the game and exploded for 38 points on 45.2% shooting, including 36.4% from three-point range, nine rebounds, five assists and one steal.Fox had a crowd-silencer moment late in the fourth when he pulled up from three-point land and drilled a clutch bucket over the outstretched arms of Draymond Green. It was a classic "great offense beats great defense" for the Kings' point guard as the Warriors' lead was down to 1.Steph Curry was no slouch as well, with 32 points on 50.0% shooting, including 45.5% from three-point range, five rebounds, four assists and one steal. Curry's production has been incredible the past two games as he has played with a sense of urgency to even the odds of the series at 2-2.Kings' coach Mike Brown on final playThe outcome of the game came down to the final possession with Kings' ball. When De'Aaron Fox was doubled at half-court, he immediately gave the ball up to Harrison Barnes, who was wide open at the time. Unfortunately, he ended up missing the shot as the Warriors escaped with a close victory.Kings' coach Mike Brown spoke after the team's practice last Tuesday to give his insights on what happened during the team's final play in regulation."The reason why I didn’t (regret the decision), and I don’t, especially after watching the film, I don’t know if you guys recall how bad we were in transition in the fourth quarter," Brown said. "Not just missing shots at the rim — taking crazy shots at the rim. So that was one thing that went through my mind."
