Keys to the Game:
•Win the 3 Point Battle
Although the Warriors will be without their three best players and three best 3-point shooters, this team is still dangerous from outside. The Kings are the second best 3-point shooting team in the league only behind the Golden State Warriors. Prove a point tonight and win the battle at 3, both offensively and defensively.
•Rebound
Rebounding will be important if you want to win, simple as that. Not allowing teams to have second chance points is crucial. Grab the rebounds on both sides of the floor.
