The Kings marked their return to the playoffs for the first time in 16 years with the home win against the defending champions.
Sacramento defeated Golden State 126-123 to take an early lead in the first round series. Draymond Green was asked about the atmosphere inside the Golden 1 Center.
“It’s a great atmosphere. It was fun, fun atmosphere to play in,” the four-time NBA champion said after the game. “And also what to expect, this is an organization, a city that has not seen playoff basketball in 16 years. You expect that atmosphere and it was loud.
“They were able to feed off the crow and I think we also handled the crowd as well. But we’re used to playing at hostile environments and this was a fun one to play in for sure.”
