The Golden State Warriors were down 0-2 before Thursday’s Game 3 matchup against the #3 seeded Sacramento Kings in Chase Center. To add insult to injury, they would be without their two best defenders: Draymond Green (suspended) and Gary Payton II (illness).
And yet they still blew out the Kings in emphatic fashion 114-97 to protect home court and bring the series to a 2-1 Sacramento lead. Sunday the Warriors have a chance to tie up this series, while the Kings have the opportunity to leave San Francisco with a 3-1 lead.
