Mitch Richmond not shocked Thunder giving Warriors a series

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mitch Richmond knew the Oklahoma City Thunder would be a tough matchup for the Warriors.

The stunning Game 1 defeat at Oracle Arena on Monday night proved the former Golden State star still has great basketball instincts."I like where you have teams who are really going to be battling," Richmond said Monday before getting inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. "Oklahoma City played the Warriors very well in the regular season but just couldn't quite play four quarters."Richmond, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who was part of Golden State's famous Run TMC era, didn't want to talk about MVP Stephen Curry or hot-shooting Klay Thompson.
