Murray, Huerter meet with media before facing Warriors in NBA Playoffs

Sacramento Kings three-point specialists Keegan Murray and Kevin Huerter spoke to the media following Thursday’s practice as they prepared for Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs against the Golden State Warriors.

The Kings will make their return to the postseason on Saturday evening when they face the Warriors at Golden 1 Center, marking the franchise’s first playoff game in 17 years.

Murray, who is in his first year with Sacramento after being selected with the fourth-overall pick in last summer’s draft, spoke about what he expects from the defending champions. Huerter, a first-year King himself, talked about the team’s preparation for a Golden State team that has won four titles over the past eight years.
