Riddle and Formula (Warriors 113, Pelicans 109)

I’m going to avoid the obvious.

That last night’s game between a W’s team finishing up a 5-games-in-7-nights roadtrip against a season long subpar New Orleans team turned out to be more fun and exciting than any of us had any reason to expect. That Steph once again busted 3’s. That Draymond once again stole an upset from an opponent with a shrewd aggressive defense-is-offense last possession play. That the W’s once again as a whole demonstrated their plucky confident will-to-win down the stretch of a game that otherwise could just as easily have been a loss.

I’m more interested in how a 22-4 team that hasn’t lost two games in a row since the last ice age can still seem at times surprisingly…
