With no knowledge of what transpired throughout the game, guessing what the first bucket the Golden State Warriors scored against the Portland Trail Blazers would net answers such as a Steph Curry three, a Draymond Green layup off of Curry drawing two to the ball, or a Jimmy Butler and-1 after drawing a foul in the post against a smaller defender. Even a Moses Moody three generated off of an advantage created by Curry or Butler wouldn’t be a farfetched guess.
A Quinten Post three also isn’t that wild of an answer. Rather, it’s how Post managed to get his three-point look that was quite unusual, especially knowing how this team has had a history of centers whose effectivity downslopes the farther they are from the paint.
