NBA Playoffs 2023 Kings vs Warriors Game 3: The Kings lose an ugly one in Chase Center - a podcast by Owen and Fong Legacy

A disappointing loss for the Kings, who came into the game with all the momentum, with the added bonus of Draymond and GPII out for the game. It was a golden opportunity to really step on the defending champ’s throats and to end the series early. But it was not to be, the Kings shot 38% for the game and 24% from 3, they never found their offense and despite playing pretty well on defense, their lack of shotmaking doomed them.

But besides the scoring, the Kings just didn’t play with a sense of urgency and attention to detail, turning the ball over a bunch and not securing rebounds. In contrast, the Warriors played with a clear sense of urgency and desperation, they got to what felt like every loose ball and gobbled up 19 offensive rebounds, each one more soul killing than the last. They wanted it more than the Kings. That in addition to the great defense they played dictated the pace of the game and the Kings were never able to turn the tables.

Game 4 is big for the Kings, will they come out with the right sense of urgency? Will shots begin to fall for them? Is there an adjustment Mike Brown is going to make? How will the return of Draymond and possibly GPII change things? It feels like it’s a must win game for both teams.

In other news regarding the Kings, in addition to being a part of the playoffs this season, they also are taking part in awards this season as De’Aaron Fox takes home the NBA Clutch Player of the Year Award while Mike Brown win the NBA Coach of the Year award, the first coach to win it with the unanimous vote. Another feather in the cap for the Beam Team and what has been the greatest story in the NBA this year.
