Golden State Warriors squandered the chance to closeout the series on Friday in San Francisco and now faces the prospect of bowing out of the NBA Playoffs as it visits Sacramento Kings for game seven of the first round.
The Warriors have played four series deciders during the Stephen Curry era and hold an even 2-2 record. For the Kings, it is uncharted waters as they hope to make it to the semifinals.
Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox scored 54 points between them in the previous game, and coach Mike Brown would want similar returns on Sunday in front of a packed Golden 1 centre.
Klay Thompson reposed faith and said his side’s past experience of having played in the post-season will hold the side in good stead for the decider.
The winner of the contest and the series will take on Los Angeles Lakers in the second round, starting with a home game on May 2.
