SEATTLE – Below are five takeaways from the Warriors’ 122-94 preseason victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday at Key Arena.
1.Kevin Durant’s return to Seattle reminded me of Kobe Bryant’s farewell tour. Everything about the game centered on the nostalgia and history. The fans yearned for the star player to put on a show. And the result and game itself mattered very little.
That summed up Durant’s time and performance in the Warriors’ pre-season win over the Kings in his first game in Seattle since playing there as a rookie nearly 11 years ago.
