Everything about this game just screamed “Upset Alert – Watch Your Step!”
The Warriors under Steve Kerr have never encountered lower expectations – down-graded by the loss of Steph Curry from Potential Playoff Spoiler to Are we tanking? status – and they were coming off a sloppy effort in a one-sided loss to the Lakers.
The C’s shooting touch didn’t translate immediately to West Coast time (30% from the field in Q1), so Steve’s young guns began to think they had a chance.
Love that Group Effort
The game ultimately turned on a curiously collaborative Celtic effort.
