Over the course of the final three minutes of the 2nd quarter on Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors slid back five points - broadening the gap to 12 points down at the half. After losing four of their last seven games, questions of focus heading into the final stretch of the season are getting louder. And yet, seemingly, it’s falling on deaf ears.
In a Nationally-televised game against one of the teams that has the best shot at coming out of the East, there shouldn’t be any need for Kerr to rally his players. And yet, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, this is the fourth time in the past five games the Warriors have slipped into a double-digit first-half hole.
