It’s been a fruitful second half of the season for the Golden State Warriors. Save for a disappointing loss on Saturday when Jimmy Butler III couldn’t suit up, the Dubs have been rolling. They’ve won six of seven games since the All-Star break, and just as importantly, their opponents have been struggling.
When the All-Star festivities kicked off in San Francisco, the Warriors were clinging to the 10th seed in the West, narrowly ahead of the Phoenix Suns. Since then, they jumped the Sacramento Kings, then leapfrogged the Dallas Mavericks, then snuck past the Minnesota Timberwolves, and, finally, zoomed around the LA Clippers.
