OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors' pursuit of home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs without Kevin Durant continues Friday night when they tip off a three-day, two-game homestand against the Sacramento Kings.
The Warriors (57-14) have responded well to Durant's knee injury after falling briefly behind the San Antonio Spurs in the race for the best record in the Western Conference. They've won five straight since a loss at San Antonio on March 11 and now control their own destiny in the final 11 games of the regular season.
