April 24 (UPI) -- Stephen Curry scored a team-high 32 points and the Golden State Warriors survived a 38-point effort from De'Aaron Fox to beat the Sacramento Kings in Game 4, tying their Western Conference playoff series 2-2.
The Warriors shot 50% and made 41.2% of their 3-pointers in the 126-125 victory Sunday at Chase Center in San Francisco. The game featured 19 lead changes and was tied 10 times.
"I think we understand how we bounced back in these last two games, the things we've done differently and the physicality we've played with," Curry told reporters.
"We need to bottle that up and take it to Sacramento. ... We know we have to win one in Sacramento in this series."
Curry also committed a last-minute blunder, calling a timeout with 42.4 seconds left when the Warriors were out of timeouts. The error resulted in a free throw and extra possession for the Kings, who cut the deficit to one point. Curry missed on the next possession.
The Kings then missed a final attempt, which allowed the Warriors to escape with the tight victory.
"I looked over at the bench and everybody was shaking their head," Curry said. "It was an unfortunate situation, but a good learning lesson. Thankfully we came away with the win."
