Steph Curry and the defending NBA champions find themselves in a familiar place: looking to close out a playoff series at home.
To the south of the Bay Area, the Lakers will try again to close out the Grizzlies in Los Angeles, where Memphis hasn’t won this season. The Grizzlies are 2-1 in Game 6s on the road and trying to force just the third Game 7 in franchise history. This franchise has won just four games facing elimination in 13 playoff appearances ever.
If the Warriors and Lakers each win Friday, Los Angeles will come to the Bay Area for Game 1 of the next round — but the Kings are counting on one more chance to Light the Beam at Golden 1 Center. KEEP AN EYE ON: Looney has corralled 72 rebounds over the first five games of the series, including a career-high 22 Wednesday, and 21 of his boards have been on the offensive glass after he led the NBA in offensive rebounds during the regular season. He is averaging 14.4 rebounds in the playoffs and the Kings must find a way to deal with his physical presence and opportunistic play in the paint.
PRESSURE IS ON: Sacramento earned a No. 3 seed in NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown’s first season to end a 16-year playoff drought, but now the Kings will have to win in the Warriors’ raucous Chase Center. Harrison Barnes pointed to Sacramento’s 19 turnovers in Game 5 as a glaring issue along with the Warriors’ 11 offensive rebounds — seven by Looney and four by Payton.
