Former Golden State Warrior, Harrison Barnes, missed out on a golden opportunity to take the Sacramento Kings ahead by two games in their playoff series against the Warriors on Sunday. Barnes, who left Golden State in 2016 after a poor Finals performance, was gifted a wide-open 3-pointer that would have led to a game-winning basket. Barnes, however, missed the shot, as the Kings lost 126-125. Despite the miss, Barnes remained composed, explaining that he learned how to deal with failure in 2016 when the Warriors blew a 3-1 series lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers: "After you learn to put yourself together after 2016, I think one shot is not going to necessarily faze you," Barnes said.

Kings coach Mike Brown has called Barnes irreplaceable, praising his performance and attitude so far in the playoffs. However, with Barnes' contract expiring at the end of the season, his future with the Kings remains uncertain. While Barnes maintains his focus on the playoffs, it remains to be seen whether his past with Golden State will affect his game in the later stages of the series.
