After that bizarre loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, the Warriors returned home to begin a two-game homestand with a Sunday evening matchup against the visiting Charlotte Hornets. Given the way things have gone after the All-Star break, one would not have been surprised to see the Warriors come out uninspired and unfocused and gift a victory to a less-talented opponent. But on this particular Sunday night, the Warriors turned in a locked-in and dominant performance to earn the 137-90 win. The blowout win also secured the Pacific Division title for the Warriors for the fifth year in a row.
