Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors did what they needed to do over the weekend, beating the Sacramento Kings twice in San Francisco to even their first round series at two games apiece. Golden State now needs to do something they have not been able to do often this season, as they need to win Game 5 on the road to avoid another deficit at the hands of Sacramento.
For that to happen, the Warriors have to find a way to get the ball out of the hands of De’Aaron Fox in crunch time. Fox was named the Clutch Player of the Year for a reason this season, as he has torched Golden State down the stretch of their games this postseason. Steve Kerr’s team needs to force anyone else to beat them late in this one.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings came one shot away from beating the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of this series and taking a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5. But Harrison Barnes could not convert on an open three at the buzzer, and this series is even at two games apiece heading back to Golden 1 Center.
For the Kings, the key to this game is going to be finding ways to get Domantas Sabonis clean looks on the interior. Sabonis has had to work hard for everything in this series despite the Warriors being undersized at the four and five. If they can get Sabonis easier looks and make things easier on De’Aaron Fox in the process, the Kings could go up 3-2.
