Golden State Warriors’ Play-In Heartbreak Breaks Chris Paul’s Insane 14-Year Streak

The Dubs, on the other hand, were led by All-Star point guard Stephen Curry with his 22 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 36 minutes on the court. Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody had 16 points from the bench, while Chris Paul tallied three points and two assists in 18 minutes.

The loss ended Golden State’s quest to reach the Finals this year as Curry’s window to win another ring is getting dimmer. The Kings, meanwhile, will face the New Orleans Pelicans to secure a playoff spot against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Golden State Warriors’ Loss to Sacramento Kings Ends Chris Paul’s 14-Year Playoff Run

Much like the Warriors’ run this season, Chris Paul’s stint in Golden State didn’t really live up to expectations. The All-Star guard’s frustrating run can be encapsulated in a tweet posted by Bleacher Report on X:

Over the course of 58 games this season, Paul has averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.8 assists. These numbers are a far cry to his career averages of 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists. With the Point God taking a backseat during his stint with the Warriors, it only makes sense for Paul’s stats to dip this year.

There are a lot of things Golden State needs to figure out in the offseason, including the fate of Paul and All-Star guard Klay Thompson. In any case, the Point God’s exclusion from the playoffs is definitely a disappointing turn of events for him.
