The Warriors defeated the Kings 119-97 and climbed back up to the fifth place in the Western Conference.

Klay Thompson, who scored game-high 29 points for Golden State, is confident in his team’s ability to repeat as NBA champions this year.

“I would say we have to value the ball more, take great shots and communicate on defense,” Thompson said after the Kings game. “We do those three things, like, I don’t see a team who can beat us in a seven-game series when we’re healthy. So, if we do those three things going forward, I think we’ll be in a great position to repeat.”
