If I had told you, prior to the Golden State Warriors road back-to-back against the Memphis Grizzlies, that the Dubs — sans Steph Curry, James Wiseman, and Eric Paschall, and with only one game from Kevon Looney — would split the series, you would have taken it. You would have taken it in a heartbeat.
Splitting a road back-to-back against a team you’re jockeying with in the standings, while your superstar and a handful of other key pieces is sidelined, is emphatically a win.
So let’s all try and keep that in mind, because Saturday’s loss was a slightly hard pill to swallow.
