After losing two games and absorbing the suspension for Draymond Green, the Warriors adjusted their attitude and now look ready to play serious basketball.
With Draymond and GP2 available for Game 4, Golden State gets its most impactful defenders. And it comes after holding Sacramento’s regular rotation under 100 points for only the third time in 85 games.
The Kings feasted off Golden State’s sloppiness in the first two games, scoring 41 points off its 37 turnovers. There is no easier bucket than transition dunks and 3-pointers after live-ball turnovers. After allowing 29 offensive rebounds, leading to 41 second-chance points for the Kings in the first two games, the Warriors brought those numbers down to 13 and 12 in Game 3. They committed 12 turnovers in Game 3, giving Sacramento only seven points.
“It was a great example of why the game has to connect,” coach Steve Kerr. “We talk about it all the time. If you execute offensively – rebound, take care of the ball – it sets up your defense to be more successful.
