OAKLAND, Calif. -- Early, way before beating the San Antonio Spurs 112-101 to secure the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, the Golden State Warriors appeared out of sorts in their bid to join the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls as the second team in NBA history to win 70 games in a season.
The game began off kilter, with Golden State firing up quick shots. Draymond Green picked up his second foul and dropped a liter of vitriol on the refs as he collected a technical foul. Green and the Warriors looked out of control and now Harrison Barnes had the tall task of guarding LaMarcus Aldridge.
