The previous game saw the Warriors outperforming the Kings in several key areas. With a solid 40 percent field goal percentage and an impressive 32 percent from beyond the arc, they managed to secure a comfortable win. Their defensive efforts were notable as well, holding Sacramento to just 38 percent shooting from the field and a paltry 23 percent from three-point range. The Warriors' bench contributed significantly with 25 points, showcasing their depth and ability to maintain pressure throughout the game.

Golden State's aggressive play was evident in their points off turnovers; they capitalized on Sacramento's mistakes by scoring 22 points compared to just seven by the Kings. Additionally, they dominated second-chance points with a total of 24 thanks to their offensive rebounding prowess.

However, it would be unwise for GSW fans to become complacent. While Golden State has shown strength at home, Sacramento has proven resilient this season with an overall record of 48 wins against only 34 losses before April's end. In Game Two of their matchups on April 18th in Sacramento's Golden One Center, despite losing by eight points (114-106), it was clear that when firing on all cylinders – particularly from inside – they could pose a real threat.

The upcoming clash will not be without its challenges for GSW; maintaining control over both ends of the court will be crucial if they wish to repeat their previous success against SAC. A focus on limiting turnovers and continuing strong defensive pressure will likely form part of Coach Kerr’s strategy going into this game.
