Golden State Warriors must keep rebounding

Size only matters so much. The Golden State Warriors have shown this time and time again.

In their latest statement to the rest of the league, the Dubs showed that even three seven-footers in the starting lineup would not stop them from out-rebounding their opponents. The Warriors dominated Cleveland on the glass, snagging 22 offensive rebounds.

This has been the trend all season long as Golden State ranks third in the league for rebounding. Kevon Looney has been an unsung hero, recording a career-high 6.7 rebounds per game. He’s accepted the challenge of going against opposing big-men despite standing at 6’9″.

Draymond Green leads the squad in rebounds at 7.6 a game while Stephen Curry and Otto Porter Jr. are hauling in more than 5.0 per game as well.

The Dubs have been able to compete against taller teams due to their solid positioning and high-energy levels. There are never any excuses — and they rarely have to make any as they routinely win the rebounding battle.
