Hollywood inspiration, mutual respect and bulletin board material: Behind the scenes of Kings-Warriors

New York Times  

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Joe Lacob, Mr. Light Years himself, was determined to stay quiet. These upstart Kings came so close to forcing the Warriors to have the “Last Dance” discussion, to wonder whether all that luxury tax would be worth it if they couldn’t even survive until the second round. “Put ’em on the bus…” Long before the Kings would stun the champs by taking Game 6 at Chase Center on Friday night, they gathered around to watch a small part of a movie. We’re still playing basketball at the end of the day, but I definitely think guys came together today for sure.’ Added Kings center Domantas Sabonis, who struggled so mightily to find his rhythm against the Warriors’ Kevon Looney and Green in this series : “It was good. Everyone was really into it.” The Kings put the Warriors back on their bus, all right, but they couldn’t pull off their Hollywood ending.
