Keys to the Game:
•Three Pointers
This should come as no surprise, but you must win the 3 point battle tonight, both offensively and defensively. The Warriors are known for their outside shooting and although they are missing 2-time MVP Stephen Curry, they are still deadly from three land.
•Move the Ball Well
Don't be afraid to move the ball and get open looks. The Kings have done a good job moving the ball lately but need to limit the turnovers.
