The Serbian guard had 14 points including a three to cut it to a one possession game, 113-116 with just under 4 minutes left but the Warriors were on top of their game offensively.
Italian forward Danilo Gallinari added 15 points but seemed to have injured his hand late.
Nicola Vucevic made his long awaited return in a 113-120 loss to the New York Knicks.
Even though he was on a minute restriction, the Montenegrin stud had 19 points adding 5 boards, an assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Evan Fournier connected on five triples finishing with 25 points, 5 boards, 5 assists and a steal.
Enes Kanter finished with a double-double, 12 points and 12 boards for the winning side.
Finally, the Kings almost completed the comeback but Russell Westbrook hit the game winning three pointer at the buzzer.
