  • Not a kings fan but this type of thing puts a smile on any basketball fan, congrats Kings on your return to the playoffs! And ofc Fox is that guy!

    I’m not even a Kings fan but man just watching how far this team has come since the start of the season, you can’t help but be happy and root for them.
  • @auxsesh7243
    Haven’t heard an NBA crowd this loud in the first round before. You love to see it
  • @wook1990
    That was one of the best combinations of fun and intense I've ever seen in an NBA game. And it's great to see the Kings back to being a winning basketball team and a playoff team. 17 long years for them and their suffering fans. I forgot about how great that crowd is when the Kings are giving them something to cheer for. Reminds me of the days when they were tearing it up with Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac, Doug Christie, Bobby Jackson, and others. Welcome back to the spotlight, Kings.
  • De'Aaron and Monk were exceptional. The benches of both teams stepped up hugely. The crowd was INSANE.

    Deaaron went to toe to toe in the clutch with Steph and came out with the W. He is HIM.
  • @kyshro
    One of the best Playoff games I’ve ever seen. Light The Beam!
  • @davida99
    Anybody who thought this was going to be an easy series for the warriors were wrong. Warriors struggle on the road and came in hostile territory tonight.
  • @MrFifiFTW
    As a Celtics fan, I’m so glad the kings won this game and got to light the beam on national television, the crowd was electric tonight
  • De'Aaron Fox is about to make a name for himself in this series, win or lose
  • Knick fan for 30 years, always had a soft spot in my heart for Sacramento. We've both been through some horrific years, and I always felt like Sactown was robbed of a championship in 2002. I'm happy to see them back in the spotlight. Maybe we'll meet in the Finals in a couple years. Go Kings.
  • @kpaukeaho6180
    Just happy for the Kings. I’ve never been a fan, but I’m definitely rooting for them this year. You can hear and feel how much this means to everyone in that stadium.
  • @an2056
    As Kings fan nothing but love for our star Fox who deserves all of it success because he's the foundation of it. Thank you and blessings to your family Swipa!
  • @tomlee45
    As a warriors fan but also a ex-sactown resident - this is bitter sweet. Always been rooting for the kings. I'm glad to see not only the fanbase come out like this but the team stepping up. This is going to be the series to watch. Fox is a star - the team has legs.
  • @lxbronx6

  • crazy feels like yesterday this man was a rookie now he has me crying happy tears made our city proud
  • @flyguy7825
    I got to tip my hat and give flowers to the Sacramento Kings. I was all but 14 years old the last time they made the playoffs. I'm in my 30s now I really thought the warriors were going to take this game. I was wrong man. That crowd was electric. One of the best playoff games I've ever seen
  • This might end up being one of the greatest series ever did the hustle and heart the Kings have and the Warriors have playoff experience won a couple of championships
