Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 25 points, while Buddy Hield chipped in 17. Stephen Curry finished with 14 points and 12 assists but was unable to spark a late comeback.

The Kings seized control late, using an 8-0 run to pull ahead for good, capped by a clutch layup from Fox with just over a minute remaining. Golden State was without Draymond Green (left calf strain) and Jonathan Kuminga (right ankle sprain), with Green set to be re-evaluated next week.

Both teams return to action Thursday night, with the Warriors hosting the Chicago Bulls and the Kings beginning a six-game road trip against the Denver Nuggets.
