The Warriors opened the game controlling both ends of the court, scoring their first 10 points in the paint while holding Stockton to just three points across the opening five minutes of the game. The Kings relied on three-point shooting to close the gap, shooting 5-of-18 in the opening quarter compared to Santa Cruz’s 40% shooting on five attempts from behind the arc, as the visiting side tied the game at 24 points apiece with just over two minutes left in the frame. Bolden led the Sea Dubs with eight points as Santa Cruz ended the first quarter with a 28-27 advantage. Neither team found an offensive rhythm early in the second frame, as the Warriors and Kings were tied 34-34 four minutes into the period. Stockton mounted a five-minute 26-5 run to claim a 60-39 lead with just over two minutes remaining before halftime. O’Connell led all Sea Dubs with five points in the frame, with the Warriors trailing 67-45 after one half of action.



Both sides recorded 11 points apiece through the first 4:30 of the second quarter, with Santa Cruz continuing to trail by 22 points. For the second quarter in a row, Stockton shot 7-of-15 on three-point attempts, four of which coming from Plowden and Dennis. Santa Cruz matched the visiting sides’ third-quarter offensive success, outscoring the Kings by six points in the paint and shooting 4-of-7 from behind the arc. The Warriors and Kings scored 30 points each in the third quarter, as the Sea Dubs trailed 97-75 heading into the fourth quarter. Kinsey opened the fourth quarter with an and-one at the rim for the Warriors as the home side was eager to mount a comeback, trailing 104-83 two minutes into the final frame. A trio of Kings held Santa Cruz’s surge at bay, scoring six-plus points in the fourth quarter. Francis stayed aggressive for the Sea Dubs, logging 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, but the deficit was too large for Santa Cruz as they went on to fall 125-103 to the Stockton Kings.
