And it's not just through the numbers where the Kings are making their mark. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had nothing but compliments for the Kings squad. Per Blake Ellington of SB Nation, Kerr said then:

“They’re good. They’re playing with a lot of confidence, they’re playing fast, they’ve got a lot of shooters, they put a lot of pressure on you and they don’t quit either. We were in control of that game most of the way and then it just completely collapsed on us, but it had to do with their pressure and their execution.”

The last time that the Kings qualified for the playoffs was in 2005-06 season. If all goes well this year, this drought may come to an end.
