SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Diya TV) — The Sacramento Kings hosted their fourth annual Bollywood Night as they took on the Golden State Warriors. With the NBA eying further global expansion, all eyes were focused on California’s capitol city Sunday night as the Sacramento Kings, facing off against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, hosted the organization’s fourth annual Bollywood Night.
It’s become an annual celebration of sports, community and culture, and a partnership with a major North American sports franchise serves as a source of pride for Sacramento’s growing Desi community. The event was preceded by a message from Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, as well as a welcome message from some of the team’s players:
