Things were about as choppy as expected for the Warriors, playing in their first exhibition game Monday after just five days of practice.
But amid the chaos of Stephen Curry fouling out before the midway point of the third quarter, the Warriors showed glimpses of the fluid, rhythmic basketball that they promise to play in the regular season and grabbed a 95-87 victory over Toronto.
Playing in front of a capacity crowd of 18,223 - many of whom lined up outside the arena 90 minutes before the doors to the SAP Center opened - the Warriors put on a show spanning the second and third quarters.
