The Golden State Warriors casually yawned their way to a 103-90 victory over Ron Baker and the New York Knicks last night. As losses go, I felt surprisingly good about this one.
The best team in the NBA and best regular season team of all-time had beaten a Knicks team that would consider making the playoffs this season a huge success—a Knicks team that was without two of it’s three best players in Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose.
No, this loss didn’t sting. It was actually quite refreshing—encouraging even—because a role player named Ron Baker was born into the NBA last night.
