That godforsaken second quarter.
You know the one I’m referring to: where all hell broke loose as the world champs went on a 37-9 scoring run in Game 1 and effectively crushed spirits across Pelican Nation seconds before halftime. Inside a ten-minute window of the game clock, Golden State totaled 28 more points than New Orleans.
The Warriors very nearly threw down a thirty-spot without Stephen Curry!
We could delve into so much of what went wrong — which amounted to pretty much everything — and be critical of the lack of defensive intensity or poor focus on offense.
