It was do or die for the Golden State Warriors. Shout out to the people old enough to catch that reference.
For the first time in weeks, the Golden State Warriors opened the game looking like a 73-win juggernaut.
Andrew Bogut, welcome back to the NBA. This game was all about the big Aussie, and he (finally) delivered. After looking gimpy, tired and slow for a solid four games, Bogut was back to his dominant self. Although casual fans around the world know the Warriors for their big three, the fact remains that their two All-NBA caliber defensive role players (Bogut and Andre Iguodala) are just as valuable to maintaining an elite defense.
