The Charlotte Hornets have, for whatever reason, had the Golden State Warriors’ number over the last few years, and so, even after the Dubs fought their way to a well-deserved 18 point lead midway through the third quarter, you knew somehow that the Hornets would find a way to sting the Warriors, pun intended. 17 consecutive missed 3s and a few blown defensive assignments later, the game was tied, and the Warriors at home were looking a lot like the Warriors on the road. But the Dubs managed to pull this one out, behind great shotmaking from Klay Thompson, dribbling and creation from Jordan Poole, and a two-way masterpiece from Jonathan Kuminga.
