THIRD QUARTER (Warriors 107, Kings 76)
OAKLAND - C.J. Watson is up to 38 points in what has the makings of the worst loss of the season.
Kevin Martin didn't play the entire third quarter. There was no word of an injury so one has to assume Paul Westphal is just trying something different. The score shows it didn't workout too well.
About the only intrigue left in this game is if Watson might score 50 or if Stephen Curry can record a triple double. He has 19 points, 13 assists and six rebounds.

SECOND QUARTER (Warriors 72, Kings 45)
OAKLAND - Wireless was acting up here at Oracle Arena, so we're late with the in-game blog.
Quick ugly update: Golden State - sans leading scorer Monta Ellis - outscored the Kings 42-16 in a second quarter in which Ellis' replacement, CJ Watson, looked every bit as potent as the incumbent en route to 23 points for the half. Stephen Curry has the locals wondering if he continues to catch up in the Rookie of the Year race, scoring 15 points and tallying 10 assists. The Kings are shooting 37.8 percent
As for trade deadline action, there is very little to speak of. The aforementioned Sergio Rodriguez-to-Memphis possibility looks to be cooled unless the Kings take expiring contracts back, in which case they'd simply be doing Rodriguez a favor. As for Yahoo's report of the Kings being recruited in a potential Houston-Chicago deal, four sources close to the teams and players involved could not confirm that scenario that is now impossible since John Salmons is reportedly being traded from the Bulls to Milwaukee. - Sam Amick
