DeMarcus Cousins and others have admitted this season that the team&#8217;s effort has been uneven for stretches, but eventually their actions must follow their words. As Cousins says himself, &#8220;Be a professional.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Working for looks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Golden State\u00a0sports\u00a0the league&#8217;s best\u00a0opponent field goal percentage (42.1) and ranks second in blocks. The Kings\u00a0will get few easy looks in the paint, so\u00a0they&#8217;ll have to swing the ball around and test the Warriors&#8217; airtight rotations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Transition defense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anyone who&#8217;s followed the Warriors for more than five minutes knows they love to step on the gas. They lead the league in fast break points, and averaged 22 in the two wins versus the Kings. Sacramento must remain composed\u00a0when facing the stampede\u00a0head on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Points to ponder as the Kings take on the Warriors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[610259261],"tags":[34017575,994249,5204276,5536292,1419906,76563,1369920],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Game 43 Preview: Sacramento Kings at G.S.
