Steph Curry has described how Tuesday’s game is comparable to the Game 7 matchup against the same team in the first round of the Western Conference Finals last season. The Warriors will play the Kings in the postseason for the second consecutive year.
“Clearly, there was a sense of urgency,” Curry said to the reporters on Monday. “Just to be clear, when Sacramento won Game 5, we were in a fairly good position. In the sixth game, they humiliated us, and we were disgraced at home. It depends on how you react at that particular moment. Just a comprehension of what it required to restore the proper energy to that performance for Game 7.
While everyone was focused and locked in, playing physically and desperate, nobody was talking about my numbers. Tomorrow, we’re going to need to approach things with the same mindset. Ironic in a way. Since everything previously led up to that Game 7, this setting is essentially a Game 7 in the same structure. So, we must repeat the process.

Sacramento made its first trip to the playoffs in sixteen years last season.
And when Steph dropped a 50-piece on the Kings’ home court in that Game 7, he crushed all of their aspirations and dreams.
Because the seven games of last year’s series were so dramatic, it was also the beginning of a small rivalry between the Kings and Warriors.
The scene where Draymond Green trampled on Domantas Sabonis’ chest was undoubtedly the most dramatic.
Mike Brown, the head coach of the Kings and a former assistant coach of the Warriors, is excited about facing his old team on Tuesday.
