With 40 percent of the Hamptons 5 lineup not in uniform, the Warriors were halfway to defeat before walking into Amway Center on Thursday.
To grit this one out, they were going to need more than the scoring they could expect from Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green -- accounting for the other 60 percent -- as well as DeMarcus Cousins.
Without Kevin Durant or Andre Iguodala, they needed a scorer off the bench. Just one. They got none.
In a game where reserves were essential to the offense, the Warriors got 12 points from non-starters.
