The Warriors generally bounce back after a disappointing performance, but they’ll have added incentive Sunday night.
The Warriors are making their annual visit to NBA’s mecca, Madison Square Garden, and this if the first time they’ve done so as reigning champions since 1975.
Coming after a near-disaster in Philadelphia on Saturday – blowing a 24-point lead in the second half before edging the 76ers by three – the Warriors (43-4) will seek to reassert themselves in hopes of running their latest win streak to seven.
The Warriors are 11-1 this season on the second night of back-to-back sets.
