Inside and outside Chase Center for Thursday night's must-win game, devoted Warriors fans added energy to the Dubs' blowout win over the Kings. Andrea Nakano reports. (4-20-23)
Fans also playing a huge part in securing tonight's win.
Look at this.
Voices heard inside and outside of the arena.
As you can see, there were a lot of people out at Thrive City just to cheer on the
dubs tonight.
Andrea Nakano was out there all evening long.
Crowds have left, but I'm sure the atmosphere must have just been off the charts.
Yeah, Juliet, the fans were truly amazing tonight.
They were loud during the entire game and even during some of the timeouts.
And we met one fan who takes the definition of a fan to another level.
Ever since I stepped foot in Oracle Arena in Oakland and now Chase Center in San Francisco,
I feel extreme joy and exuberance.
Like, honestly, this is my happy place.
To say Cherie Foster is a Warriors fan is an understatement.
She considers Chase Center her home away from home, but check out her house.
Guests can stay in the Warriors-themed bedroom, and during the holidays,
you can find a life-size cutout of Steph Curry in her walk-in shower,
along with other Warriors decorations, all to celebrate her favorite team.
I always loved it.
But boy, oh boy, the team we have now, I think, is a once-in-a-lifetime, very special opportunity.
And I don't take it granted for a minute.
I think something we're watching right now may never happen again.
Season ticket holder Cherie comes all the way up from Morgan Hill to watch the Dubs play
alongside thousands of her closest Dubnation friends,
most on the edge of their seats Thursday night as the Warriors
desperately needed a win to stay in the series.
Of course we were gonna win.
I mean, you know, after what happened with Green,
it just motivated the Warriors to go out there and win.
It was just simply amazing.
But there was never a doubt what was happening tonight.
This is Steph Curry.
This is Klay Thompson.
Put some respect on these guys' names.
These are generational talents that we are seeing
that we will probably never see the likes of these guys again in the NBA.
Last season, we were the underdogs.
We won the championship.
This is nothing new to us.
This is the Bay Area.
We're used to being the underdogs.
You know what I'm saying?
Warriors at six.
That's all I gotta say, baby.
The Warriors are still down two games to one in this series,
but fans say with the group on the floor,
repeating as champs is not out of reach.
It goes back to the we believe era.
Like, I believe.
No one can tell me any different.
Now Vern mentioned that the next game is on Sunday.
There are still tickets available for that game.
Prices start at $300.
And I know, Juliet, you like to sit courtside.
So those only cost about $10,000.
But the next game is on Sunday at 1230 here at Chase.
You got the wrong Juliet.
I said couchside.
All right, and Andrea, thank you.
