Keys to the Game:
•Defend the Paint
The Kings allowed a lot of easy, wide open points inside the paint against the Warriors last night. They must do a better job inside defensively if they want to win.
•Make Your Shots
The team struggled with finding their shots yesterday. Shooting just above 41% from the field and a low 28% from three point range. The whole team must do a better job of knocking down shots.
