It may have looked like the Golden State Warriors had an easy run to their second-straight NBA championship last year, but as it turns out, it wasn't quite the cakewalk it appeared to be.
Outside of getting pushed to the brink of elimination by the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, the team also dealt with another major roadblock.
Back in March, the Warriors endured a team-wide meningitis scare, reported The Athletic's Sam Amick on Monday.
"An outside vendor who handled the team’s food on a daily basis contracted a contagious form of the disease, then survived a life-threatening challenge before eventually returning to work with the team," Amick wrote.
