Kurtenbach: To beat the Kings, the Warriors will have to do something for the first time this season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:09:33 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — What’s the opposite of a road warrior? That’s what the 2022-23 Golden State Warriors are. If the Warriors are to beat the Kings and advance to the second round of the NBA Playoffs, they will have to do something they failed to do all season: win a road game against a playoff-level opponent. Yes, while the Warriors only won 11 of 41 road games all season, not one of those wins came against a full-strength version of a top-six seed in either conference. And with Kings guard De’Aaron Fox saying Tuesday that he will likely play in Wednesday’s Game 5, Sacramento will likely give the Dubs their best.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Warriors-Kings: De’Aaron Fox expects to play Game 5 after injuring finger Golden State Warriors | Kurtenbach: NBA coaching has never been better, but there’s no coach better than Warriors’ Steve Kerr Golden State Warriors | Klay Thompson shows ‘vintage two-way&...

District Attorney Pamela Price announced Tuesday that her office is charging Tran with committing perjury and bribing a witness.Weber, a homeless mother of two, told investigators that she was "desperate at the time" for money, the DA's Office wrote.
