OAKLAND — Jordan Bell was asked what a young player can learn from a teammate like Kevon Looney.
Bell paused, then said, “I’m older than Kevon.”
Maybe it’s that Looney, in his fourth season with the Warriors but still just 23 years old, has always seemed like an old soul.
Bell, in just his second season, is a year older. And he is growing up right before our eyes over the past week.
Together, the two young forwards contributed 25 points and 10 rebounds to the Warriors’ 114-111 victory over Portland on Thursday, giving them a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference finals.
