The battle of Northern California got off to a noisy start in Saturday’s Game 1.
SACRAMENTO — Have you ever heard the sound of 17 years of frustration and anticipation being released?Saturday’s Game 1 between the Warriors and Sacramento Kings was the biggest sporting event in the capital city in a generation, and to be in the vicinity of the Kings’ downtown arena was to be bombarded with that fact — and the sound of those cowbells.

But Saturday’s game was anything but perfunctory for the Kings. It was one that will stick with me for years to come, as will the hearing damage from those damn cowbells and “Sac-ra-men-to” chants.
