The Sacramento Aces showed an injury fighting spirit.
The Sacramento Kings won 118-99 against the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the 1st round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs held at the San Francisco Chase Center on the 29th (Korean time).
The series record is 2-3, and Game 6 is an away game. That was the situation Sacramento was in. In addition, ace De’Aaron Pax was playing with an injury. But no bad news could stop Sacramento and Pax’s run.
On this day, Pax played a big role with 26 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals, and a field goal success rate of 55.6% (10/18).
Sacramento showed off its potential from the second quarter. Pax boasted a great shot feel, and Trey Lyles and Malik Monk also added strength off the bench. Sacramento, who succeeded in reversing, did not relax the reins of the offense even in the second half and won by 19 points.
In the post-game interview, Pax said, “We wanted to keep attacking and playing. Tonight we put our speed first and controlled the game. I think it was the best game we ever played.”ㅋㅋㅋ벳
Pax is currently suffering a fractured left index finger. But he doesn’t give up and steps onto his coat.
“D’Aaron Pax has shown a lot this season. He is an elite level player. He has brought our team up even in adverse circumstances. Whatever Pax does, I will be with him and guide him,” said Sacramento head coach Mike Brown. .
Monk’s performance was also outstanding. Monk scored the most points on the team with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, including 3 3-pointers.
“No one thought we’d be here, so there’s no pressure. We’re going back to Sacramento now. It gives us more confidence,” Monk said, expressing his determination for Game 7.
He then smiled, saying, “The opponent seemed a little tired. We are a little younger than them.”
With this victory, Sacramento set the series record to 3-3. Game 7 will be held at Sacramento’s home, the Golden 1 Center.
Sacramento fans are eagerly awaiting Game 7, which will take place on the 1st.
