The Golden State Warriors entered Madison Square Garden on Thursday night knowing they had a chance to build momentum. They were one of the best teams in the NBA in February, and had won six straight road games. After starting a four-game road trip with a win over the Washington Wizards, the Dubs were gifted a New York Knicks team that was not only reeling, but playing without Julius Randle and OG Anunoby.
Golden State wasted no time getting down to business. Steph Curry, mired in one of the worst three-game shooting slumps of his career, drilled a three on the opening possession.
