They would never say this out loud, but the Golden State Warriors chose Tuesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs to opt for the rare “scheduled loss.” No one will ever admit those things, but with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter Jr., Andre Iguodala, and Nemanja Bjelica all sidelined, you could make a case that the Dubs were without seven of their 10 best players, and, well, you do the math on what should happen.
The nine healthy players that the Warriors did have apparently missed the memo. They had no plans for the latter word in the “scheduled loss” moniker.
