A March home game ahead of a three-game road trip. A chance to extend a winning streak following a dominant 9-1 month of February. The result? A complete blowout win.
That was March of 2016. A 36-point victory for the soon-to-be 73-9 Golden State Warriors victory.
On Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics were presented with the same scenario. And it was against the Stephen Curry-led Warriors.
Boston blew them out by 52 points behind a barrage of three-pointers.
“That’s what we used to do to teams,” Curry said.
