NBA: Sacramento Kings set to end playoff drought by taking on Golden State Warriors

The Hindu  

The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings have spent nearly four decades as California neighbors having never played a game with high significance. We can’t change people’s minds by telling them, ‘Hey, we’re better than that.’ We got to go out and we got to change people’s minds by our play.” Despite winning four more games than Golden State and being far more consistent throughout the regular season, the Kings head into the playoffs as decided underdogs against the defending champions. “But we all know playoffs are different and again you’ve just got to win four games however you can.” THE WIGGINS FACTOR Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is set to make his return to the court in Game 1. The players on Golden State’s roster have 817 career playoff games compared to 185 for the Kings — with 52 of those coming from injured backup guard Matthew Dellavedova.
