Warriors v/s Kings: 2023 NBA playoffs

Peter Biantes shared the latest warriors V/S Kings 2023 NBA Playoffs

After pulling out a win over the Sacramento Kings in Game 3 on Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors will look to even the series in Game 4 on Sunday afternoon So far, each team has protected their homecourt, which could prove to be a theme throughout this series If that pattern continues, Golden State will indeed tie the series up. In order to do that, they'll need another big game from star guard Steph Curry, who had 36 points and six rebounds last game And there's also the matter of the return of Draymond Green, who was suspended for Game 3 after stomping on Domantas Sabonis' chest toward the end of Game 2.

Kings:

Sacramento would benefit if they could get rookie forward Keegan Murray going a bit Murray has scored only 10 points over the first three games of the series. This is a guy who averaged 12.2 points per game during the regular season. Some rookie jitters are understandable, but the Kings need him to snap out of it and contribute Despite his struggles, the Kings aren't going to go away from him

"It's difficult, especially for a rookie playing big minutes for us all season," Kings guard De'Aaron Fox said of Murray's play in the postseason "I mean, he broke the 3-point record

for a reason So we know he's skilled We know he can play Obviously, the physicality and everything has risen, the intensity of the game has risen. He struggled a bit, but for us, we want him to get going. We're not going to take that away from him."

Warriors:

Peter Biantes said that Golden State has to do two things: take care of the ball, and maintain composure, both collectively and individually. The Warriors are a team who can sabotage themselves with sloppy, careless play and they simply can't afford to do that in this series They also have to make sure that Draymond Green keeps his cool He'll probably be pretty fired up to be back after his one-game suspension, and understandably so, but he has to be careful to channel that added energy in a positive way, and not allow himself to become involved in extracurriculars

Prediction

The Warriors have been a great home team all season, and there's no reason to expect that to change Plus, the return of Draymond Green should provide Golden State with an additional boost Expect this series to shift back to Sacramento tied at two Pick: Warriors -7 5

SAN FRANCISCO -- People often compare back-and-forth sporting events to heavyweight boxing matches, with each behemoth taking their turn knocking the other into oblivion, only

to see the opponent counter by delivering their own batch of punishment But even that metaphor doesn't do justice to Sunday's tense, exhausting Game 4 battle between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.

"What a game," Kings coach Mike Brown said afterward "If I was a fan, shoot, what a game to watch "
