5 Games the Golden State Warriors Could Have Lost During the Streak
By Segun Giwa
2. Dec. 11 @ Boston, Double OT
No Harrison Barnes. No Klay Thompson. 6th game of a 7 game road trip.
This looked like the night the mighty Warriors from the west would finally take their first loss. Wrong.
Curry was relatively contained by Avery Bradley, going 9-27 from the field, but still managed to score 38 points. Draymond did Draymond things, posting a 24/11/8/5/5 stat line as the Warriors were +14 with Draymond on the floor. Draymond can do a little bit of everything – pass, shoot, dribble etc but what sets him apart is his basketball IQ.
Green picked up his 5th foul with 5:51 left in the 4th, but played key stretches at center and was able to avoid fouling out. If this man isn’t an All-Star, I probably won’t watch the game. He’s proven himself to be the Warriors 2nd best player and the perfect Robin to Curry, and his breakout season has helped the Dubs get to the next level this season. Once this game went into OT it was over, espescially with Isiah Thomas trying to ISO Livingston (who’s nearly a foot taller than him) with the game on the line. This W took a heavy toll on the Warriors, but at least the game ended before somebody rolled an ankle or worse.
P.s. I know I wasn’t the only one kind of excited for David Lee during his little mini takeover, was I?
