Game 7 preview: Backs against the wall, Warriors have to turn up the energy against Kings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:12:04 GMT

In all 28 of the Warriors playoff series that Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have played, a Game 7 was only needed four times.But they’ll need a fifth on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings — and this one was entirely avoidable.The Warriors had a chance to close this first-round series in Game 6 at home, where they’ve dominated all year. Instead, the Warriors played arguably their worst game as a collective this entire year given the stakes. They were flat-footed, out-coached and unprepared for the adjustments and energy the Kings beat them with.All year this team has been bogged down by poor execution, particularly late in games, and lack of focus. They locked in and won three straight down 2-0 earlier in the series — can they get up again for one more game with the season and, perhaps, the dynasty on the line?The core players who’ve been here before believe they can.“It’s up to us to go to Sacramento and do everything we did tonight — but opp...

Flood warning closes much of Yosemite as “Big Melt” arrives

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:12:04 GMT

Even as the spring heat wave that’s thawed California’s record Sierra Nevada snowpack comes to a close, communities across the Central Valley and the state’s northeastern mountains are continuing to prepare for potentially dangerous flooding.Already, near-overflowing rivers triggered the closure of much of Yosemite National Park on Friday, and the park will remain under a flood warning until at least Tuesday morning.Indefinite flood warnings were also in effect for areas near rushing rivers in parts of Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties, where some 60,000 acres of farmland are under about 3 feet of water brought by last month’s powerful atmospheric river storms.The high temperatures, breaking 80 degrees at many snowy peaks, were expected to subside by Monday. But that won’t put an end to flood concerns triggered by this week’s anticipated “Big Melt.”“The rate of melting may not be as significant, but it will continue,” said ...

He threw only 64 pitches in 6 2/3 innings, striking out two.It was the second big league outing for McGee, who made one relief appearance for Tampa Bay late last season. He was called up from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day to start in place of struggling Chris Flexen, who was moved to the bullpen.There have been six no-hitters in Mariners history and the most recent one came in Toronto, when Canadian-born lefty James Paxton threw one on May 8, 2018....

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — His team huddled up before taking the floor, Harrison Barnes hollered a message to the Kings with their special season on the line: “Leave it all on the floor and take this series back to Sac!”With spectacular performances on both ends against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the Kings are going home to Sacramento for Game 7 against the defending champions.Malik Monk can only imagine what a winner-take-all showdown might be like with a chance to extend this long-awaited playoff run as all those supporters try to will their Kings into the second round. For Curry and Co., there’s no imagining necessary — they know what hostile road environments feel like for elimination games, having been there so many times over the past decade on the way to four titles.“Man, I never been to Game 7, so I don’t know. I don’t know what to expect,” Monk said. “I just know I’m going to go out there and play 110 percent, give it my all, and continue to do what I’ve b...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom underwent tests Saturday after early exits in two of his last three starts because of tightness in his lower right forearm near his wrist. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said the “same thing cramped up on him again” on Friday night, when deGrom left his start against the New York Yankees with two outs in the fourth inning. That came 11 days after he exited at Kansas City following four hitless innings. Bochy said before Saturday night’s game that the team was still waiting for the results of the ongoing evaluations on the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner, who as a free agent last December signed a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas. “We’ll just wait to hear what the doctors say and we’ll find out if he needs time or not,” Bochy said. “Obviously, we’re being optimistic having gone through this a little already with him.”Texas has won all six games started by deGrom (2-0), but he has been limited to 30 1/...
