The "Death Lineup" or the "Hamptons Five"—whatever you want to call it—got its name because it effectively terminated whoever it went against.
Last season, no five-man unit that played at least 200 minutes had a better net rating than the Golden State Warriors' Death Lineup (23.9). The group comprising Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Kevin Durant was nearly unbeatable. An unstoppable force and immovable object. But that hasn't been the case this season.
Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers marked the first time the Death Lineup had seen the floor in over a month.
