tomorrow. as long as san mateo and santa clara counties keep receiving these checks each day, but who is cutting them? take a look at these $12,000 checks, made out to santa clara county. they were sent by count the vote. a search of the federal election commission website shows that is a super pack, just formed on april 9th, by james sutton. the address on the check? the same address of a law firm, once look working with sam liccardo. and then there is this, the man who ordered the recount, jonathan idea, listed sutton as an attorney who could take action on his behalf padilla worked on locarno's mayoral campaign at one point. these revelations have in low's team working tonight. in a statement to nbc bay area, lower's campaign spokesperson says, given the relevant revelation that a dark money super pack was formed a few days ago to bankroll the recount it is time for sam liccardo to come clean. some desperately wants to avoid a three-way race and the public deserves to know what was offered to the pack for its secret donors in return for funding this recount. but sam liccardo's team to

>> reporter: santa clara county's registry of motor says the recount could take anywhere from 1-2 weeks. >> all right, and we are still trying to figure out the legalities of all of this. we reached out to both son maclaren and san mateo county voters, we did not hear back. i also messaged jonathan mattea, we do not expect to hear back. >> joslyn, this will be going on for a while we think it this was no ordinary night at chase center, dig watch? 20 of warriors fans showing up for this outdoor viewing party, and these fans went home with plenty of questions and concerns. this is not only the end of the warriors's season, this might be the end of an era. the warriors blown out tonight in sacramento, losing to the kings. we will now hear a lot about how and if the warriors should rebuild their roster. >> and bc's anthony florez is court quartzite in sacramento tonight. and anthony, this is a tough one, this is a sobering lost? >> reporter: it certainly is. it is the end of the season for the warriors come into who knows, maybe the end of the

dynasty. they were blown out tonight by the kings in sacramento in the 9-10 play game. they were walking from start to finish. it was a white out, but you can see there was blue and gold sprinkled throughout the arena. hundreds of warriors fans made the roughly 85 mile drive from san francisco to this date capitol, despite trailing burke most of the game. dove nation was loud and did their best to cheer on the warriors. by the end of the game, there were a lot of sad faces. golden state was playing catch- up early on. the splash brothers were never really able to get it going. steph curry had a quiet 22 points. the kings did a really good job making a mark for every bucket the story of the game? klay thompson struggling with his shot. he was scoreless, going 0 for tenant in the square. being the warriors 118-94. now the question? is the dynasty over? >> these guys are all still really good players. so, hopefully we can re-sign play, raymonde and steph are

both under contract. so, we are going to roll it back next year. >> it is a tough way to end our year, for sure. we give ourselves a chance to be in this situation, where, you know, you win one game, you win one game, we are right where we expect to be, but we are going home so, definitely frustrating, disappointing to say the least. >> you heard steph curry. disappointing, frustrating. the warriors were playing their best basketball, they believe they had a serious run and then this postseason, it comes to an end. back to head coach, steve kerr, he says he was chris thompson block and steve pull back, but there is a business i'd of escape, it will be a very interesting off-season for the warriors. life in sacramento, anthony flores, nbc bay area. >> thank you, anthony, very interesting about coach kerr

a bigger problem for the 26 arrested yesterday was san francisco, district attorney, brooke jenkins. she wants to make sure whatever charges she files are backed up with strong evidence. charges, such as false imprisonment, and conspiracy. which would mean-- >> these people had planned list , that there were strategy, that they work together to plan out the commission of these misdemeanor crimes. the chp today releasing pictures of protesters here, demonstrators used pipes to link themselves together while inside their vehicles, delaying their arrest. governor newsom today saying he supports political expression, but not the way these demonstrators did it. >> i think there is a better way of expressing it than denying people the way to get to work. someone an emergency who can't get to their destination. i don't think that is helpful. >> reporter: jenkins says she was disappointed at the lenient sentence dished out by a judge to the protesters, who shot on the bay bridge for two hours last year. >> this time around the chp did

some it-- warded book these individuals on a felony conspiracy charge, and we will have that evidence in front of us and make a decision on whether or not this amounted to felony conduct. >> reporter: district attorney jenkins is asking the thousands of people caught in traffic, as a result of the protest of the golden gate bridge yesterday-- especially those who were on their way to a medical appointment or treatment. to contact the moran and chp to file a report. in san francisco, terry mcsweeney, nbc bay area news. five employees at google were rusted tonight after staging a protest inside a ceo's office in sunnyvale. >> yes. >> so, they live streamed all of it, including the moment police took the five employees into custody. the demonstrators were demanding google drop project nimbus, a google ai and cloud tech service that is being used by israel. they also wanted an end to what they call harassment, intimidation, and censorship of palestinian and muslim google workers. the protesters arrested tonight are facing charges of terminal trespassing.

jose will be forced to travel to bali son medical center or hospital for trauma care. >> trauma means immediate medical help. when there is no immediate medical help, you can't put a band-aid on a gunshot wound, and say go. you cannot put a band-aid on someone who is lying in the street, losing their life. >> regional has cited a drop in use for the closure, but those opposed to the move would say it would literally cost lives. it is now up to the state to make a final decision. new at 11:00, a big blow to a baseball team in the east a bit with an $15,000 worth of equipment was stolen. this comes of the league is trying to make a comeback, following the pandemic. so, what now? here is nbc's pete suratos. >> it is a typical tuesday night of youth baseball in concord, for the junior optimist baseball league. with both parents and players enjoying the sights and sounds
