Golden State Warriors Top 10 Moments of 2013
By Eric He
4. Comeback of the Year (Dec. 4, 2013)
What began as a humdrum Tuesday night game against the lowly Toronto Raptors turned into the biggest Warrior comeback since 1962. The Warriors never planned for it to happen; it was their lackadaisical defense and stagnant offense that put them in a 27-point deficit in the third quarter.
But the Warriors slowly chipped away at the lead, then absolutely exploded in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Raptors 42-15 to take a 112-103 win in improbable fashion. Of course, it was Stephen Curry who hit the biggest shots of the night, first a three to cut the lead to one, then another three to give them the lead.
And as you can imagine, the Tuesday night crowd at Oracle Arena was rockin’ like it was the playoffs all over again.
