Everyone knew what was coming the moment Tari Eason poked the Golden State Warriors.
Inevitability came in the form of a flash to the past. The Splash Brothers exploded for a combined 58 points. Steph Curry put up 29 points on 14 shots (80.7% True Shooting), while Klay Thompson’s 29 points came on 15 shots (96.7% True Shooting — Thompson had zero free throw attempts while Curry had nine).
It wasn’t a smart move by Eason — sidelined due to a left tibia injury — to light a fire under a team that didn’t have it under them on a consistent basis.
