as the Sacramento Kings held on for a 134-133 victory over the
Golden State Warriors on Thursday in San Francisco.
The thriller capped a 2-2 season series between the Northern
California rivals, with the last three games each decided by one

40 shots from behind the 3-point arc. Each Boston starter made at
least three 3-pointers and all five scored in double figures.

because of a left ankle injury.
Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro each scored 19 for Miami, and Jimmy
Butler added 17.

York, which held the defending NBA champions to a season-low point
total and improved to 11-2 over its past 13 games.

He also pulled down 11 rebounds.
Timberwolves 96, Nets 94
Karl-Anthony Towns scored 27 points and found Rudy Gobert for the
tiebreaking dunk with 58.1 seconds left as Minnesota survived a
shaky fourth quarter to beat Brooklyn in New York.
