The Cavaliers had just nine active guys for Monday night’s matchup. The Warriors were without a player taller than 6-7. Something had to give.
It did – mainly because two of those Warriors under 6-7 are Draymond Green and Stephen Curry.
Green finished with 16 assists and Curry, 36 points – both game-highs – as the Warriors sealed a winless West Coast trip for the Wine & Gold, who dropped the 129-98 decision in their first-ever visit to the Chase Center in San Francisco.
The Western Conference funk – dropping the final four games by an average of 26.
