The best series of the first round of the NBA playoffs will know today who will be the semifinalist of the West. On the one hand are the Kings, a team that had not been able to play in the postseason for 17 years and on the other, the current champions.
Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and company are played in Sacramento, and in ‘Game 7’, continue extending his impressive dynasty that already has four rings.
The series started with two victories for these surprising Kings, who imposed their scoring potential, the best in the regular season, to dominate the matches. But the Warriors came back, winning both meetings at the Chase Center and managing to get ahead in the Californian capital.
In ‘Game 6’, Mike Brown’s men forced the last game and recovered the court factor by passing over those from San Francisco. Everything to decide. Maximum emotion and Lebron James’ Lakers waiting in the semifinals.

Great setting in the Golden 1 Center. The Sacramento fans, after 17 years without being in the Playoffs, ‘crazy’ to see their team in the semifinals.
QUINTET KINGS
Minutes before the game started, Confirmed quintet also from the Kings:
MIAMI GOES AHEAD IN THE SERIES
In the other party of the day, the Heat are ahead of the Knicks. Miami victory in Madison by 101-108.
This was the result of the sixth game, the first ‘match ball’ for the Warriors. The Kings were up on the scoreboard throughout the game and, the Warriors’ mistake in the triple, condemned them. Massive victory for those from Sacramento, although today everything indicates that there will be no beating from either of the two teams.
COME BACK GREEN
Draymond Green returns to the initial quintet. Overcome and more than enough the clash with Sabonis in the second game of the series, the player from the Warriors has made very good games. He added 21 points to his great defense in ‘Game 5’ in Sacramento.
