The theme of the Warriors’ training camp was “getting to the next level,” and the proof that the players had advanced to the next peak might have revealed itself during a scrimmage Thursday.
Knowing that they might be setting the stage for a sloppy session, the Warriors’ coaches didn’t call offensive sets and wouldn’t let the players do it, either. The players were allowed only to read and react to the defense and feed off the continuity they had built during the first year in head coach Steve Kerr’s offensive system.
Surprise.
“We just know how to play together,” center Andrew Bogut said Saturday after training camp closed.
