The Golden State Warriors had a field day sharing the rock on Monday en route to another huge home win against the Sacramento Kings. Moving the ball around to find an open man has been in the Dubs' DNA for the past few years, and they were finally starting to look like their old selves as they tallied a total of 41 assists to set a new NBA season-high.

They also ended up assisting on 91.1 percent of their field goals during the game, which is their highest assist percentage in a game since 1995. None of the championship teams the Warriors fielded in the past few years came close to what they did against the Kings.

To make things even more impressive, there wasn't anyone on the team who got double-digits in terms of assists, which meant everyone was passing the rock. Stephen Curry followed up his career-night against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday with a near triple-double and a team-high eight assists. Fellow starters Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins each had five dimes, while Eric Paschall and Brad Wanamaker both added four dishes off the bench.
Without Klay Thompson, the Warriors need to be extra creative on offense this season. With Curry and Green being the main facilitators, Golden State is getting more players involved on offense which, as fans on Monday, should result in more wins. The Dubs had seven players score in double digits against Sacramento, with Curry leading the way with 30 and Kelly Oubre, Jr. finally finding his stroke and adding 18.
The Dubs continue their home stretch against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.
