Remember all the chatter about whether the 2015-16 Warriors or Showtime Lakers would win in a series?
Well, those two teams are now in elite company together. Golden State is second to only the 1984-85 Lakers in games with 30 or more assists in a single season, per Warriors PR.
The Warriors’ 44 such games still trails those Lakers’ 52 — with 10 games to go.
Of course, assists don’t encapsulate a team, so the aforementioned dialogue doesn’t end because of the stat.
Magic Johnson and James Worthy still surely think the Lakers would beat the Warriors while Mychal Thompson disagrees.
