Your Sacramento Kings Playoffs Guide
17 years! 17 years since the Kings last made the NBA Playoffs. It was the year 2006 and the iPhone did not yet exist. Not only are the Kings ending their Playoff drought, this will be their first Playoffs in the heart of Downtown at the Golden 1 Center. Here is everything you need to know:
First, if you want to hit the game at the Golden 1 Center, be prepared to drop a lot of cash. It’s likely to be the most expensive first round NBA Playoffs game ever. Tickets are also double the price in Sacramento versus San Francisco. Who wants to take a short road trip?!

Limited Edition 48 Hour Print Sale!
48 Hours Only! To celebrate the Sacramento Kings winning the Pacific Division and making the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2006, I am selling this collectible print for 48 hours only.
This photo took a month to capture with my drone. Not only did I need to first obtain a pilot license to legally fly at night, I also had to wait for the Kings to win. Combine that with rainy weather and the general sketchiness of Downtown, and you know this shot took some planning!
Perfect for your game room, office, garage, bedroom, cubicle, etc. Hang it anywhere to
remember the season that the Sacramento Kings morphed into the “Beam Team”.
Support a local creator. Purchase this print for $50 at Beam Team Print
Thank you!
