“Defense (Non) Optional” (Warriors 118, Cavs 108)

For me the story of last night’s game against the Cavs was what was (or became) a non-story. Or a what-else-did-you-expect story.

That the W’s came from behind to beat the Cavs decisively on the road.

Ho-hum.

That ho-hum isn’t to put a fork in the Cavs (as they seek some trading deadline make-over). That ho-hum isn’t even about the Cavs.

It’s just that no one—including the Cavs—expected them to beat the W’s.

Oh, they might’ve hoped they could beat the W’s. But they didn’t expect to.
