OAKLAND, Calif. -- With April approaching, the beat-up, undermanned Golden State Warriors are prioritizing health over everything else -- even the No. 1 seed in the West.
"It's a harrowing experience," coach Steve Kerr joked before the game. "I'm just trying to process it all."
Yet the faces down are glaring: NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant, two-time MVP Stephen Curry and his Splash Brother, Klay Thompson.
Buddy Hield made three free throws over the final 27.5 seconds, Willie Cauley-Stein had a late dunk and the Sacramento Kings won for the second time this season on Golden State's home floor, beating a Warriors team missing its top three scorers 98-93 on Friday night.
