The Golden State Warriors faced off against the Sacramento Kings in another preseason matchup. The Warriors managed to come out on top after trailing for the majority of the game. Fans got to see star players play in their entirety, playing more minutes than what is accustomed to in a preseason game.

De’Aaron Fox trolls Chris Paul

After trailing behind the Kings for the majority of the four quarters, the Warriors managed to go home with a 116-115 victory over Sacramento. Some highlight plays were bound to happen between these two teams who met last year in the first round of the playoffs.

But what was a moment of laughter, happened between Chris Paul and De’Aaron Fox. Around the four-minute mark of the fourth quarter, Chris Paul managed to draw a foul out of Fox, leaving him frustrated, and causing him to troll CP3 on that.

Paul brought up the ball to the half-court, where Fox picked him up. Instead of trying to beat him off the dribble, Paul decided to take advantage of Fox’s overzealous defense on him, causing him to pick up another foul.

Fox was evidently unhappy with the call as he gestured hilariously that Paul had flopped in order to get the call in his favor. He then seemed to lay some trash talk on the veteran point guard before the two got back to the game.

Fox may have been calling Paul out for flopping whereas Chris Paul, a master of drawing fouls might just have been doing what he does best.

A recap from last year’s playoffs
