NBA Playoffs: Monk, Murray Lead Kings to Game 6 Victory over Warriors
Malik Monk Explodes for 28 Points as Sacramento Extends Series
Keegan Murray's Double-Double Contributes to Kings' Road Triumph
Malik Monk erupted for a game-high 28 points, adding six rebounds and four assists, as the Sacramento Kings defeated the Golden State Warriors 118-106 in Game 6 of their Western Conference playoff series. Keegan Murray also had a strong performance with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
The victory keeps the Kings' playoff hopes alive, forcing a Game 7 in Sacramento on Sunday. The Warriors, who were without Stephen Curry due to injury, were led by Klay Thompson's 27 points.
Monk's scoring burst came in the second half, as he connected on several key shots to keep the Kings in contention. Murray also played a crucial role, with his rebounding and inside scoring helping to establish a presence in the paint against the Warriors' smaller lineup.
The Kings hit a season-high 17 three-pointers, with Monk hitting six of them himself. The hot shooting from beyond the arc helped to offset the Warriors' strong defense and kept the Kings in the game throughout.
Game 7 is set for Sunday, April 30, in Sacramento. The winner will advance to the Western Conference Finals to face either the Phoenix Suns or the Dallas Mavericks.
