Stephen Curry scored 31 points, Draymond Green had his highest-scoring game in more than five years and the Golden State Warriors won the first road game of their series against Sacramento, beating the Kings 123-116 Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead.

Green had 21 points and seven assists in his first game back in Sacramento since getting ejected and later suspended for stepping on Domantas Sabonis' chest in a Game 2 loss.

Golden State now can try to wrap up the series with a fourth straight win at home on Friday night.

The defending champion Warriors withstood another raucous crowd in Sacramento and showed off their road mettle that had been missing so often this season.

Golden State won only 11 games away from home in the regular season and lost the first two games in Sacramento before making the key plays in the second half to beat the Kings and extend their record to 28 straight playoff series with at least one road win.

The Kings trailed by 12 early in the fourth quarter after a layup by Curry but wouldn’t go away. They chipped away at the deficit behind 11 points in the next five minutes from Monk — who went down briefly with what looked like a left knee injury — to make it a one-point game with just over four minutes left.

But the Warriors pulled away late after Monk missed a potential game-tying 3 with 1:04 to play.

Andrew Wiggins made a turnaround jumper to make it a five-point game and Curry put it away with a three-point play with 22.1 seconds left that made it 122-114.

Klay Thompson added 25 points, Wiggins had 20 and Kevon Looney matched his career-high with 22 rebounds.

De'Aaron Fox scored 24 despite a broken index finger on his shooting hand, and Monk and Sabonis added 21 points apiece for Sacramento.

Fox got the start despite breaking the tip of the index finger on his shooting hand late in Game 4. He played with a splint on the finger and showed no ill effects from the injury, making all three of his attempts from long range in the first quarter to help Sacramento build a 10-point lead.

The Warriors got going in the second quarter with Thompson making three 3-pointers during a 12-0 run that helped Golden State take a 60-56 lead at the half.

TIP-INS

Warriors: Curry moved past Magic Johnson (3,701) into fifth-place all-time in playoff scoring with 3,727 points... Looney became the first Warriors player with two games with at least 20 rebounds in the same playoff series since Nate Thurmond did it against Milwaukee in 1972... Golden State got called for two transition take fouls in the fourth quarter.

Kings: Sacramento went from shooting 8 for 12 from 3-point range in the first quarter to 0 for 9 in the second quarter — the Kings' most misses without a make in any quarter this season.

UP NEXT

With a win on Friday night, the Warriors would improve to 19-0 in playoff series against Western Conference teams since coach Steve Kerr took over in 2014-15.

A surge at the southwest border could be what local communities are facing, as Title 42 is set to expire May 11.

It's a public health policy that allows for quick deportations put in place during the Trump administration, but the Biden administration has tried to end it for over a year now.

In Yuma, Arizona, which borders Mexico, only one hospital serves the permanent population and undocumented immigrants crossing.

"When a migrant comes in, they get the same care everybody else gets," said Dr. Robert Trenschel, the president and CEO of Yuma Regional Medical Center.

The area’s only hospital spent $26 million in uncompensated care for migrants between December 2021 and November 2022 – a majority going to the emergency department and maternity unit.

The emergency department received about 200 migrants a month at the worst of it during this period, with illnesses ranging from dehydration to pneumonia to fractures.

"We're very concerned with the number that are going to come in, and we hope that we're not going to get the same number that we had in the past, but we're preparing just in case that we do," Trenschel said.

During the peak of border crossings here in December 2021, about 6,000 people crossed in a matter of days.

Title 42 has allowed Customs and Border Protection to deport nearly 88,000 migrants at the southwest border in March alone. Of that number, nearly 1,900 were in the Yuma sector.

A third of the migrants that Yuma’s hospital receives are pregnant women and their children, and they trickle in at once since border crossers often travel in groups.

"Many of the babies wind up in our neonatal intensive care unit. Mom often gets discharged before the baby, but we never want mom and baby separated, or sometimes we'll just keep mom and pop her in a room here for a number of days until her baby is out of the neonatal intensive care unit, or we'll put them up in a hotel," Trenschel said.

Temporarily housing the migrants costs money, too. The hospital has requested government funding, but they still don’t have an answer. While the hospital said they’re well staffed, they need funding to properly care for so many people.

"It's unsustainable for a hospital like us. You can't expect 300,000 people to cross the border, which is the number of individuals across the border (last) year, and we're the only hospital they're going to come to," the hospital’s CEO said.

One lawyer calls the situation a stampede.

"A surge is just like you can imagine, a stampede is a dangerous place to be," said Eric Welsh, a private immigration attorney and partner with Reeves Immigration Law Group in California.

"There may be people who have not been coming to the border because of the fear of expulsions or being turned back, and so there may be a lot of people who are expecting that they will have a more regular process in the United States than at least they have in the last three years," he said.

Other border cities are also preparing for a surge. The city of El Paso, Texas, declared a state of emergency this week.
