At this point in the season, I feel like a broken record breaking down individual games. And so I’ve paired Friday and Sunday’s contests into one recap on two very different (yet somewhat similar) games. Some stream-of-consciousness musings below…
- What a difference quality of opponent can have on your feelings about a basketball game. On Friday against the Jazz, who have been underperforming expectations but remain a member of the Western Conference elite, the Warriors competed their guts out but lost in the final minutes due to some befuddling late-game execution, including but not limited to a missed dunk leading to a wide open corner 3 and a totally senseless foul shortly thereafter.
