The reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors find themselves in a spot this iteration has never seen — and to the most unlikely of characters.
Faster, stronger, louder
The Kings are relentless and exploiting every single Warriors mistake — leaving the champions playing from behind, or at least on their heels — at all times throughout this series. Part of it could be attributed to the Warriors’ woes on the road, which wouldn’t be automatically fixed by the return of Andrew Wiggins. It’s almost unfair to expect a player to return after such a lengthy absence to fit in so easily, especially at this level of playoff competition.
Heck, everything the Kings do is fast and with intention. They’re not dancing around the Warriors, but attacking them and doing it strategically. They’re being who we thought the Memphis Grizzlies would be if not for their own self-destructive devices. The Warriors are backed into a corner, one that won’t be so easily fixed by a trip up I-80 and some good old Chase Center energy. Fox is torching their pick-and-roll defense, attacking the gaps or relying upon a confident jumper.
The officials gave Green the benefit of the doubt for his hipcheck of Domantas Sabonis, but Green trying to free himself of a leg grab — in his words — led to him stomping too hard on Sabonis stomach — again, his words. He could just be clumsy and unaware of where his feet were in trying to extricate himself from Sabonis as the Warriors were mounting a comeback and going the other way.
