Game 1 of the 2018 NBA playoffs proved brutal for the San Antonio Spurs, who suffered a blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors, 113-92. The score at times seemed worse than a 21-point defeat, since Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson bulldozed their way through the Spurs defense and led to the team shooting 54.3 percent from the field.
The opposition was not the only problem, as the Spurs backcourt struggled to score points and get shots off. Danny Green, Patty Mills and Dejounte Murray combined for 16 field goal attempts as all three played over 20 minutes each; Murray’s 8 points led the group.
