The Golden State Warriors were happy to come home. After a long and tough road trip–in which they lost Kevin Durant–the Dubs were returning to friendly confines. Unfortunately, they were doing so against a team that beat them inside Oracle Arena last season.
The Boston Celtics ruined the Warriors’ return to the Bay, beating them 99-86. They fought hard all night, waiting for the opportunity to pull away. Once the fourth quarter came around, Steve Kerr opened the window for them.
In the last period, Kerr inexplicably rolled out a lineup of Stephen Curry, Ian Clark, Patrick McCaw, Andre Iguodala, and James Michael McAdoo.
