The Warriors seem determined to tear down one of the popular narratives relating to their stunning run of success last season and early this season.
The excellent health the Warriors enjoyed in winning the NBA championship last season has been a lot less excellent in 2015-16. Five weeks into this season, it hasn’t mattered – nor has it been enough to push them off the track of perfection.
With starting center Andrew Bogut joining starting forward Harrison Barnes on the sideline, the Warriors rolled into Air Canada Centre on Saturday and outlasted a very tenacious group of Toronto Raptors to take a 112-109 victory.
