Last night there were several games in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In one of them, Sacramento “Kings” with a result 134:133 defeated the Golden State Warriors.
The Kings were in front since midway through the second quarter, but despite that, the end of the game turned out to be very exciting, and Jonathan Cumminga put the Warriors in the lead with 48 seconds left in regulation time. “Kings” missed two shots in the next attack, but both times won the rebounds at the opponent’s basket, which helped Domantas Sabonis to the “slam dunk”.
