His best games were 4 and 6, going for 23 points and 7 rebounds in Game 4 (the real missed opportunity in this series for Sacramento - you must steal that game when it’s there), then notching a 15-12 double-double in Game 6, a 19-point road win in San Francisco to stave off elimination and force Game 7. He came alive Game 4 and averaged 14.5 points per game and 8 rebounds the rest of the series. Keegan had a really tough start to the series, making 1-8 3s through Game 3 and scoring 10 points, total. On Keegan - here’s a snapshot of his first playoff series: via The Warriors have never lost a series to a Western Conference opponent under Steve Kerr (19-0, a whopper of a stat) and now they have a shot at a deep run and new life at 0-0 as they head into a series with the Los Angeles Lakers.

His Game 7, a Game 7 record 50-point explosion on 38 shots (a career-high for Curry), is an all-timer and you just have to tip your cap. Then it’s made worse when it’s Stephen Curry leading that tsunami and he’s burying 3s in your face. Sometimes the Warriors hits you with a wave, and on occasion that wave turns into a tsunami and you have no hope. This was a close series and sometimes the winner has the alpha of the series plus loads of championship pedigree and you don’t. There’s not much to say about Sacramento’s 7-game defeat at the hands of the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

The Kings run head first into Stephen Curry and lose, so Keegan Murray’s successful debut NBA season is done in the first round.
