The Golden State Warriors traveled east to face the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night in the NBA Play-In Tournament. The winner would get an opportunity to face the New Orleans Pelicans and advance to the playoffs. After the Dubs ended the Kings season last year, Sacramento returned the favor this time around, defeating the Warriors 118-94.
Golden State head coach Steve Kerr opted to start rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis in the front court alongside Draymond Green. While Jackson-Davis has had a productive rookie season, Kevon Looney finished the year strong and was particularly effective against the Kings last postseason.
