The Warriors Dynasty Is Over!

        Last year we saw the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors go head-to-head in the first-round of the playoffs. The series went all the way down to a game seven and the Warriors won behind a Steph Curry 50-point performance. Nearly a year later both teams found themselves facing off in the Play-In Tournament. With the Kings and Warriors finishing as the ninth and tenth seed that means it was a single elimination game, win or go home. 

        Despite the game being in Sacramento the Kings were the underdog but the Golden State Warriors were not ready for what was about to happen. The game was remotely close in the first half but the Kings took full control in the second half with a couple huge runs including a 21-7 run in the third quarter and a 17-4 run in the fourth. The Warriors finished the game with a difficult loss thus ending their season (Kings 118, Warriors 98). 

        Klay Thompson had the worst night, probably the worst in his career, scoring 0 points, going 0-10 from the field and 0-6 from three-point range in 31 minutes of playing time. He will be a free agent this summer and some believe this may be his last game as a Warrior. While Kerr, Curry and Green all expressed hope for Klay's return in their postgame interviews Shams Charania reported that "Klay Thompson is very open to seeing his marketplace in free agency." Despite an up and down season for Klay he will draw lots of interest from multiple teams in free agency.
