arena. hi, larry. rnchs how you doing, dan? the warriors you're right absolutely positively need this game after the shocking result the other night when they lost 108-102 to okc. want to set the scene, everybody is out warming up early. we've got draymond green to my left here, harrison barns on the far side of the court. anderson warming up on the right baseline. one of the things that steph kerr has talked about repeatedly this season is the warriors having what he calls appropriate fear of their opponents. i'm not sure the warriors had it against the rockets or blazers and may not have had it after one half against okc as we watch harrison barns go through the two-ball dribble there. in the thunder game on monday they were up by 13 the warriors cruising and then they just crumbled in the second half. absolutely just ran out of gas not so much you but unable to execute in the fourth quarter. i think the warriors learned a
4:11 pm
lesson here. they have to be weary of the thunder. russell westbrook said, we can't relax. happy teams lose. and so the warriors certainly were unhappy with the result the other night. i think we'll see appropriate fear this evening and we'll see who's happy at the end of game two. dan? ama? back to you. >> thank you, larry. >> tip-off is at 6:00 tonight. the series shifts to oak city for games three and four sunday and next tuesday. game five would be back at oracle thursday may 26th. still ahead on abc 7 news at 4, turning the tables on parents. how kids are laying down the social media laws now. new at 4:30, it is gearing up to be a rough summer for krafl everies. there are already long lines at airports all across the country and now it could end up being a record breaking summer for travel. and tens of thousands of salmon are now making a home right here in the bay area. the effort to rebuild the salmon population. let's go outside as the evening commute gets under way. you're looking live at the san

4:19 pm
partner, the young woman that works next to franco finn, ruby lopez, alongside the last few years. between the two of them, they whip a crowd of 19,000 fans into a frenzy every single night. look for more of that, hopefully it will be a positive vibe tonight as the warriors try to bounce back in game two against ekc. we'll be back a little bit later on. we're going to talk about the blown call at the end of game one. a lot of warriors fans are frustrated by that and an interesting proposal by the warriors team president to try to fix things going forward. for now, live at oracle, larry biel, abc 7 news. >> thank you, larry. let's go back outside and talk about this absolutely gorgeous but pretty warm weather. >> a stunning day. we're cooling down in some spots right now, though. as the weather cools down, we're hoping the warriors will heat up. here is a look at live doppler 7 hd on this mainly sunny and still warm inland day. but there's cooling along the
4:20 pm
coast and around the bay. here is the view at the golden gate bridge. here are our forecast features. it will be breezy and even cooler tomorrow. further cooling will continue into the weekend and there's a chance of showers on saturday. here is a look at our forecast animation starting at 10:00 p.m. we'll see some areas of low clouds that will hang around for a while as we get into the overnight early morning hours. mainly a few areas of spotty drizzle will develop for the morning commute. then we get winds sweeping those clouds away after early morning lows reach into the mid-50s for the most part. it will be a pretty mild overnight period. but check out the wind gusts. this is what will sweep away the clouds and continue the coastal cooling. we'll start the wind gust animation at 5:00 a.m., already having gusts ranging 34 to 44 miles per hour along the coast. throughout the day, much of the day, we'll see a coastal wind gusting 32 to about 43, 44 miles per hour. but notice how much calmer the winds will be inland and around
4:21 pm
the bay, those coastal winds will bring us the continued cooling that we expect right into the weekend. highs tomorrow will range from near 60 at the coast to upper 60s around the bay and upper 70s to low 80s inland. here's our storm impact scale which we've used throughout the winter and now the spring to rank every storm from 1 to 5. the approaching system that will bring us our next rainfall ranks number 1, a storm of light intensity, showers possible on saturday, most areas receiving less than a tenth of an inch of rain and there's a slight chance of thunder. here's the forecast animation for that. starting 5:00 friday morning, we might see some spotty drizzle before the main event arrives on saturday. then overnight friday into saturday we'll see a wider range of areas of showers developing, mainly light showers and they'll be pretty widely scattered early in the day. but they may continue throughout the day and become better organized. a little heavier in some spots. but again, we don't expect this system to produce a lot of rainfall. so by 5:00 saturday afternoon we
4:22 pm
are projecting most locations will receive anywhere from about two or three pattern continues into early next week with not much warming, high temperatures will range only from about 60 at the coast to low and mid-70s inland going into early next week. dan and ama? >> all right, thank you spencer. coming up next, a record-breaking price for a diamond. look at this beauty. how much did this rare blue diamond go for? we'll have the answer. and in honor ofati -- we're celebrating the people who have made a difference where you live. today we remember the hardworking employees of the chine chinese telephone exchange founded in 1901 in san francisco's china town. the operators had to know all the languages and dialects spoken by chinatown r

4:47 pm
did you feel vindicated when the nba admitted the officials blew that call? >> yes! yes. yes, that's awesome. no. i don't like to practice. i appreciate the nba trying to be transparent, but it's unfair to the officials. i feel like it throws them under the bus. they have an impossible job. they really do. >> reporter: i'm not sure i would have been able to laugh at that like steve did, but i'm joined by mike shumann. warriors president rick welts has a proposal to follow what the nfl does and give the coaches one challenge per game. clearly the warriors would have loved to have that. >> reporter: no question. they could have tied the game had they got the call reversed, only down three at that point. you know the warriors can make a three. klay thompson told me, though, two games ago they make bad calls like we make bad shots. you have to understand it, move forward. it won't change. steve kerr just said in his

press conference, we just have to be better with the basketball in the second half. it will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. >> reporter: they were un-warrior like in the second half. they better be warrior-like in the full 48 minutes tonight. >> reporter: they lead the league in assists. they weren't moving the ball around. they had seven turnovers, steph alone in the second half. i guarantee they'll clean that up for tonight. >> reporter: lots more coming up on abc 7 news at 5 as we preview game two of this series. for mike shumann, larry biel live at oracle arena. dan? ama? >> thanks, shu thanks so much. we want to see your warriors fan photos and your video. when you post them to social media, use the hash tag dubs on 7 and we'll feature them on air and online. it's time now for "ask finney." michael finney is here answering questions. michael, the post office said they delivered a package to my house, but i never got it. there is insurance on, it but they refuse to honor it.
4:49 pm
what can i do? >> oh, brother. i've got to tell you it's not so easy as i didn't get it so pay me for it. you've seen all the video we've shown you where thieves come up to the front door and take the package. so you really have going have to do a little detective work, stay on top of this. what you do is you start by calling customer service at your local post office and say, hey, i never got this, where do we go from here? and so everybody starts backtracking. then if there is a signature, did they get the signature? if you finally do not get any satisfaction, i.e., know what happened to the pack age or get your money or both, contact me and we'll see what we can do. >> can restaurants really enforce an age limit on a kid's meal? >> that's a great question. >> yeah, it is. >> absolutely they can. there's absolutely no regulations around a kid's meal. we had a company one time that was a foreign company that set up a restaurant here, and they had a height limit.
