Since the Golden State Warriors became good at basketball, there have been many incredible moments for their fans. And while winning a championship has to be on the top of that list, beating the Thunder on Saturday in the Cupcake Game needs to be up there in terms of satisfaction, if not symbolic importance.
The worst-case scenario to Saturday’s game was Kevin Durant getting booed, shooting 2-of-15 from the field and the Warriors being blown out by 20. Social media would have roasted the Warriors, Russell Westbrook would be gloating and the country would be laughing and calling KD all sorts of names.
