Before Wednesday’s game, Jason Kidd couldn’t gloss over the obvious.
“There is a lot on the table,” he said about the match against Golden State. And he was quick to add that it’s foreign territory for some of his players.
“We have some guys in that locker room who haven’t played in a big game,” Kidd said. “So this is a great opportunity for those guys to go through this to understand what it means and how it feels as we go forward. We got to be able to protect home.”
Consider it a growing pain as the Warriors hung on for a 127-125 victory at American Airlines Center.
