Kings' plan: Tonight's game vs. the Golden State Warriors

Published: Tuesday, Mar. 13, 2012 - 12:00 am | Page 5C
Last Modified: Tuesday, Mar. 13, 2012 - 9:57 am

TONIGHT'S GAME

Kings (14-27) vs. Warriors (17-21)

Time: 7 p.m.

Where: Power Balance Pavilion

TV: CSNCA

Radio: KHTK (1140 AM)

THREE KEYS

• 1. Start strong: Playing with high energy from the opening tip is key for the Kings to establish a rhythm for the game. The Warriors can jump on teams early.

• 2. Ball control: The Kings must be more careful with the ball after committing 21 turnovers in each of their two previous games against the Warriors.

• 3. Offensive glass: The Warriors give up a lot of second-chance points, so DeMarcus Cousins and Jason Thompson should have opportunities to keep possessions alive off misses.
