Curry finished the contest scoring a game-high 29 points on 9-of-23 shooting from the field with six boards, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes against the Kings. 

After an extended offseason that included a nine-month layoff from game-action, Curry notching 29 points in consecutive preseason games is a positive sign for the Golden State point guard. 

Curry and the Warriors will now travel to New York for the 2020-21 season opener against Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets.
