After Sunday’s stirring victory in San Antonio, only two factors can derail the Warriors’ two-month march to another title – exhaustion and over confidence.
Beating their most formidable rival on the back end of a two-night swing through the South proved their mastery over a team that in their own right, had one of the best NBA regular seasons ever. All the wizardry of Spurs coach Greg Popovich, all the brilliance of Kwahi Leonard’s contricting defense and potent offense were rendered useless Sunday night against the Warriors freight train of brilliance. Everyone could feel that sentiment in the wake of the Warriors’ 92-86 win and that had to include the Spurs themselves.
