PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
All season long, Head Coach Steve Kerr has maintained that the Warriors were poised to make a run. And with less than a month until the start of the NBA Playoffs, the Dubs are proving Kerr right. The Warriors have now won seven of their last 10 games, and every player on the roster would argue that it should be nine of their last 10 after letting a pair of games slip away during the team’s most recent road trip. Stephen Curry has played his way back into the MVP conversation during this run, Draymond Green is coming off a season-high matching 19-assist game and the team has enjoyed great production from their reserves in the last few games that Kelly Oubre Jr. has come off the bench. The Clippers are the only team with a better record in their last 10 games than the Dubs, and if the Warriors keep up this level of play, they will certainly improve upon their current playoff picture.
TEAM LEADERS
SACRAMENTO SCOUTING REPORT
The Sacramento Kings enter Sunday’s contest on two days of rest and having won two of their last three games. Though the signs point the Kings coming in rested and playing well, they also struggled mightily prior to their mini-run, losing nine straight games. While Sacramento focusses on scoring on the interior (top 10 in NBA in 2-point field goals made and attempted) more than shooting the 3-ball, they splashed their way to a victory in their last meeting with the Dubs. The team made 50 percent of their 3-pointers attempted (19-for-38) including a 6-of-7 night from rookie guard Tyrese Haliburton. The story of that night was De’Aaron Fox though as he torched the Warriors for 44 points. The impact of Curry and Green’s absence was felt in that game, and the Dubs will be eager to get one back in front of their home court fans.
