Warriors blow chance to clinch at home, drop Game 6 to Kings

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 09:37:44 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors’ Game 5 win in Sacramento earlier this week set the defending champs up for the chance to clinch their first-round series on home court, where they’ve been nearly unbeatable in the playoffs. But the Warriors blew a golden opportunity, opening the game flat and spending most of the final three quarters trying to play catch. Stephen Curry scored 29 points, Klay Thompson had 22, but the Warriors’ same issues that caused them to fall into a 2-0 hole at the beginning of this series, haunted them Friday night in their 118-99 win. The Warriors turned the ball over too many times and gave the Kings too many second-chance opportunities. Sacramento, playing with its season on the line, maintained control of the game to force the series back to Sacramento for a pivotal Game 7. Golden State missed its first four shots, and Sacramento took advantage to build an 8-0 lead. With Curry and Thompson scoring a combined 15 points, the Warriors manage...

49ers draft: Historic wait until safety Ji’Ayir Brown arrives as first pick

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 09:37:44 GMT

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers waited longer than ever in team history to start drafting, even after moving up 12 spots Friday night, all to select safety Ji’Ayir Brown from Penn State.Brown, this year’s Rose Bowl defensive MVP, arrived in the third round at No. 87 overall, a spot originally held by the Minnesota Vikings.Selecting a safety makes sense for one of the NFL’s best defenses, in that Brown could pair with All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga as the 49ers’ safety tandem for the foreseeable future. Either this year or later, Brown will look to unseat Tashaun Gipson Sr., who re-signed last month after serving as Hufanga’s veteran wingman last season.“I’m more excited than anybody to conversate and learn from those guys, piggyback off them, and help this team win a Super Bowl,” Brown said in a video conference call with reporters.Safety Ji’Ayir Brown #16 of the Penn State Nittany Lions intercepts pass intended for wide receiver Devaughn Vele ...
