The Sacramento Kings faced criticism following a late-game foul called by coach Doug Christie during their 110-105 loss to the Golden State Warriors. With 3:15 left and the Kings leading by one point, Christie opted to foul Warriors' star Seth Curry, mistakenly believing the opposing team was in the bonus. This decision allowed Curry, an 86.4% free throw shooter, to tie the game. Warriors forward Draymond Green suggested the foul was indicative of tanking, a claim the Kings deny, asserting it was merely a tactical miscalculation. The Kings, who have been without several high-paid veterans due to injuries, are currently tied for the fourth-worst record in the league at 21-59, positioning them for a favorable draft pick. Despite the situation, the team has shown resilience, winning seven of their last 16 games, while Christie emphasized his respect for the game and his players' efforts to win.
