SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Last Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors D-League affiliate Santa Cruz Warriors (13-11) were once again involved in a close, grueling battle against the Salt Lake City Stars (7-17) at Kaiser Permanente Arena, this time losing the contest 102-94.
Long story, short: The Stars got exactly what they wanted for most of the night, masterfully keeping control of the momentum late in the game to keep Santa Cruz from staging yet another comeback.
The Sea Dubs were coming off a 113-104 victory over Salt Lake City (SLC) the night before, a game which Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green notably came to watch.
