Down Draymond Green and Gary Payton II, a handful of Warriors kept their season alive.
More than anyone, though, this night belonged to Kevon Looney. His impact isn't highlight-worthy every game. He scored four points in the Warriors' blowout win but was near the top of the list when it comes to Warriors who led to a must-win performance.Down Green and Payton, the pressure was on Looney. The Warriors center answered every question that some might have been asking.
"Sometimes in rebounding, you can get in the zone," Looney said."Just how Steph and them 3-point shooters get in the zone, as a rebounder I feel the same way sometimes, like I know where the ball is going. Every time I touch it it seems to go my way, tips going my way and different things like that."
If he was beat up in the post and the Warriors fell to a three-games-to-none hole against the Kings, their season likely would have been over and who knows what would have happened next. Instead, he was the key to the Warriors having 24 second-chance points, which doubled the Kings' 12. Looney's game wasn't boxed into one aspect. He also dished nine assists, tying his career high, as he played more a distributing position like Green often does. He was responsible for 23 assist points, leading both teams.
