The Warriors played like chumps.
They shot poorly, defended poorly and committed 16 turnovers against the Toronto Raptors during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors seemed totally out of sync, like they hadn’t played a game in nine days.
Maybe that’s because they hadn’t played a game in nine days.
They eliminated the Portland Trail Blazers back on May 20. We should have expected the Warriors to be rusty on the road after a nine-day layoff. They won’t be rusty in Game 2.
Good news for the Warriors.
But they still have issues.
