Kings vs. Warriors Game 5: What you need to know about the matchup
SACRAMENTO – Things are all tied up as the Kings vs. Warriors series heads back to the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento this week.
Golden State survived a possibly catastrophic sequence at the end of Game 4 on Sunday that saw star Stephen Curry call a timeout that they didn't have. A Malik Monk free throw and then De'Aaron Fox 3-pointer pulled Sacramento within 126-125.
Sacramento's comeback came up short, though, with Harrison Barnes missing a 3 at the final buzzer.
Sunday's win for the Warriors means that the best-of-seven series is now tied 2-2. The Kings still have home-court advantage, though, with Games 5 and 7 (if necessary) happening in Sacramento.
Whlie the Kings will be back on their home court, there are concerns over the health of their star player.
Fox suffered a fractured finger at some point during Game 4. His status was listed as "doubtful" for Game 5, but on Wednesday it was announced that he will play.
For his part, Fox was adamant that he'd be playing on Wednesday.
"No ifs, ands or buts, I'm playing," Fox said after practice.
Game 5 is set to tip off at the Golden 1 Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
