In this modern day of pace-and-space where shooting is a premium and almost everyone in a five-man lineup must be able to shoot — four spacers (which includes a mobile and versatile four-man) with one non-shooting five-man, or even a five-man that can act as a spacing big — the Golden State Warriors continue to be one of the few teams in the league that are fine with having multiple non-shooters on the floor.
After consecutive games of starting a three-guard small lineup — perhaps to jumpstart an offense that has underperformed this season — Steve Kerr returned to his good old reliable five-man group of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney.
