At least based on the social media sightings, this is Erik Karlsson’s third straight home playoff game for the Warriors and his first victory. On April 28, the Sacramento Kings chased the Chase Center Warriors 116-99 in Game 6 of their series. On Tuesday, Los Angeles edged Golden State 117-112 in Game 1. But yesterday, the Warriors were all on fire in a 127-100 rout of the Lakers.
The 2023 Norris Trophy finalist has been a Warriors fan since being traded to the San Jose Sharks in 2018-19. We’ve detailed his fandom here:
