This season’s one-week break between the conference finals and the NBA Finals is the longest in history, and boy, are the Warriors thankful after a three-day span of injuries that appeared to threaten the postseasons of their All-Star guards.
Point guard Stephen Curry was so bruised on the right side of his body after a horrific Game 4 fall that he played much of Wednesday’s first half using predominantly his left hand in dribbling, passing and defense.
Shooting guard Klay Thompson took a fourth-quarter knee to the head that caused concussion-like symptoms late Wednesday and left him resting at home on his couch with his dog Thursday.
