CHICAGO — Klay Thompson received a perfect line-drive feed from new addition Matt Barnes, right in his shooting pocket, for a wide open corner 3 late in the fourth quarter. Clang.
Two possessions later — with two minutes left and the Warriors trailing by three — Steph Curry navigated himself into an open spot on the wing, bouncing into the rhythm 3 that has become the league’s most lethal weapon. Clang.
The Warriors missed the injured Kevin Durant during Wednesday night’s 94-87 loss in Chicago. But perhaps even more, they missed the shooting prowess of their typically deadly but currently ice cold backcourt.
