line to be more specific. it was april 30th of last year. the warriors were here at the golden one center with their backs against the wall and they were able to get out and figure it out because, look, you know what other can they have now steve kerr and company. they are not happy that they are in this spot. they did not think they will be playing in a play-in. he reiterated that earlier 3 games because they thought they would maybe be playing in the 6 spot, the 5th spot. but here they are. this is their reality. now, just like last year and this year, the journeys might not have been the same to get to this point. but their feelings are they saying now last year the warriors had a chance to wrap up the series in 6 games at their home arena, but they dropped the ball and they had to come back to sacramento with no momentum. they put themselves in a really bad predicament. so i asked carry, what do you remember about

that sunday afternoon last year that you could bottle up this year and help get out of this spot against. >> it was says urgency obviously just understand. we're in pretty good shape. coming back from sacramento, win in game 5. they took it to us in game 6 and we got embarrassed on our home floor. and as a matter of how you respond at that point, just an understanding of whatever it took to bring the rain energy and will have to have that same type of mentality. our guys have seen it all. obviously her her core group and >> basically been big sack same situation in this building a year ago, game 7. very confident that our our players are. i'm ready to go and they'll they'll be confident excited when they're out there. >> now, the energy here at golden one center is at 100%. okay. you know, this fan base

does not like the warriors. they don't even love to bay area. they have a lot of sacramento pride and they love their kings and the players. they know that they know it's going to be hostile just like it was for 4 games last season. so they are all prepared for that. meanwhile, one game, pain. the second he will not be able to play tonight. he won't even be able to play friday and the warriors are fortunate enough to win tonight. yet that calf tightness, that hurts them because he would be one of the main assignments on their fox. but like the warriors said earlier, they're going to have to figure it out and win because they really don't have any chance. now, as soon as this one goes, finally a post-game reaction right here from golden one center. but for now, kate, let's see what happens 60 minutes and we'll see if the warriors season if they continue. send it back to you. all right. warriors fans hoping there will be no lighting of the b ma tonight. we'll talk to you later tonight on sports night live, right? let's get out to the diamond. some baseball today.
