Although Stephen Curry was back in the lineup on Friday night after missing Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers, it was Brandin Podziemski who fueled the Golden State Warriors' offense in Sacramento.

On his way to a new career-high, the third-year guard notched a 30-point performance for the first time in his career. In the second-to-last game of his third season in the association, Podziemski notched a 30-point performance, erasing his previous career-high of 29 points. Podziemski's 30th point came on the final bucket of the game with free throw with 4.5 seconds remaining in Golden State's 124-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings at Golden One Center.

Podziemski finished with 30 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field with three made 3-pointers to go along with three boards, an assist and a steal in 32 minutes. Podziemski finished 9-of-10 from the free-throw line.

In Podziemski's last 10 games, the former Santa Clara Bronco has scored 20 or more points in seven contests.
