The Golden State Warriors officially ended their regular season campaign with the 10th seed in the Western Conference following the conclusion of Sunday’s games. Now, they turn their attention to Tuesday’s Play-In Tournament, where they’ll travel the short trip up north to face the ninth-seeded Sacramento Kings.
The matchup adds yet another chapter to a budding Northern California rivalry, fueled by memories of last year’s First Round series. The Warriors beat the Kings in an intense seven-game battle, culminating in Stephen Curry’s 50-point Game 7 performance in Sacramento. The scars left from last year, along with the close games played this season, has the Warriors’ Draymond Green anticipating a contentious home crowd in Sacramento for Tuesday’s Play-In Tournament matchup.
