The setting will reveal an entertaining display with the pageantry of a Broadway show and the special effects of an action movie.
The Warriors’ opening night on Tuesday will start with a ring ceremony where every member of the organization will receive jewelry to remind them of last season’s championship greatness.
Then the Warriors will take the floor against the revamped Houston Rockets, hoping to demonstrate that fireworks are likely to keep bursting for the next nine months.
Those new blingy rings aside, all the opening-night buildup leads to a single piece of hardware: The Larry O’Brien trophy.
