The Sacramento Kings played in their first playoff game since 2006 on Saturday evening when they faced off against the Golden State Warriors.
Not only did they win and take a 1-0 series lead, but the Kings won in dramatic and memorable fashion.
While De’Aaron Fox proved to be the biggest star of the night, recording 38 points, 5 assists and 3 steals in the 126-123 victory, he wasn’t the only person to earn fans’ respect.
One of the Kings’ cheerleaders also caused something of a stir with her wild photos.
It all started with the main account sharing some imagery of the team’s dancers.

From there, eagle-eyed fans identified one of the cheerleaders’ personal accounts and blew up all her posts.
Now, less than 12 hours after the game wrapped, she is a viral star.

Obviously this isn’t the first time a non-player stole the headlines after a big game. Jordyn Woods’ intimate message to her beau, Karl-Anthony Towns, set the internet ablaze just one day earlier.
But it’s still an interesting phenomenon nevertheless.

Big picture, it will be fascinating to see where the Kings and Warriors go from here. As epic as Game 1 was, Sacramento merely did what it needed to do – won a game at home. The same will need to happen in Game 2 for home court advantage to not be squandered.
Golden State, for all the team’s issues this year, is a squad that has won four championships with the same exact core unit in place. Losing the first game of a series will not rattle any of the people involved.
Will the Kings ultimately be able to shock the world and earn a first round playoff series win over the Kings? Time will tell, but either way the latter squad’s cheerleaders will be there rooting them on every step of the way.
