Just imagine the momentary relief opponents must feel when they spot Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant on the bench to start the second and fourth quarters.
Just imagine the enduring frustration those same opponents feel when the Warriors still put together one of their swift, signature runs.
This happened twice in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against Utah, and by now it should count as little surprise. The Warriors lean on a defensive-minded quintet of starters Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, plus reserves Andre Iguodala, David West and Ian Clark.
