The Warriors blow out the Kings to move a half-game ahead of the Clippers in their duel for the fifth playoff position in the West. NBA
Klay Thompson scored a game-high 29 points and the visiting Golden State Warriors moved within one win of claiming a Western Conference playoff spot with a 119-97 romp over the unmotivated Sacramento Kings on Friday, April 7 .
The Clippers hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Warriors and would finish fifth with wins Saturday over the Portland Trail Blazers and Sunday at Phoenix, or with one win coupled with a Warriors loss in their regular season finale Sunday at Portland. Golden State caught a break Friday when the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Milwaukee Bucks to lock down the No. 2 spot in the West. That assured the Kings would finish third even before taking the court against the Warriors.
