The mayors of San Francisco and Sacramento were already busily exchanging shots at each other before Sunday’s NBA playoff game between the Golden State Warriors and Kings got under way.
“When you travel to visit cities, do you ever go to Sacramento? Is that ever on your bucket list?” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said on NBC Sports Bay Area on Friday before Game 6 that the Warriors lost 118-99. “I’ll leave it at that.”
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg later responded on Twitter, noting that “tens of thousands of San Franciscans” have “recently and happily moved to Sacramento.”
“Whatever happens today, Game 7 is a win for both Northern California cities,” Steinberg tweeted on Sunday. “One is a thriving, growing, livable city/culinary capital capturing the hearts of sports fans and the imagination of the world. The other is San Francisco. Go kings!”
The winner of Sunday’s game in Sacramento will play against the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the NBA playoffs starting Tuesday. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led the Kings 85-78.
