In the first quarter, Buddy Hield and Stephen Curry combined for 16 points, going 4 for 4 from beyond the arc and a perfect 6-for-6 from the field.
In the second quarter, Hield was still a potent weapon, finishing the half with the same 16 points on 6-for-6 shooting, 4 for 4 from three-point range that he and Curry had combined for in the first.
Less than five minutes into the third quarter, the Warriors had already made twenty 3-pointers, and that was before the Kings had even tried twenty.
With Hield (6), Jonathan Kuminga (4), and De'Anthony Melton (4) each making at least four triples, the Dubs finished with a total of 28 made threes.
The Warriors made 53.8 percent of their three-pointers, while the Kings only made 25.9 percent.
In his 15 minutes of preseason action on Wednesday, six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan of the Sacramento Kings scored 15 points on 6-for-6 shooting.
