The Golden State Warriors (20-4) do not lose often but when they do, it is usually in spectacular fashion. Three of the Warrior’s four losses this season have been by 20 points or more, with the latest by 21 at the hands of the depleted Memphis Grizzlies.
Anderson Varejao started in favor of Zaza Pachulia, who was out with a wrist contusion, and Golden State could do little right from the jump. After one quarter of play, the team had as many turnovers as made field goals (5). They were down by 15. After two quarters, the count was little better at 11 turnovers to 14 made field goals.
