The Golden State Warriors opened the preseason on Saturday night with a 107-105 win over the Denver Nuggets.
Preseason wins mean essentially nothing, but after the Warriors went a league-worst 15-50 a year ago, and then had to wait more than nine months before playing again, watching them win a game against a team that made the Western Conference Finals was a sight for sore eyes.
While we can’t really take anything from the result of a preseason game, we can draw some conclusions about player performances, trends, and roster decisions. They should be taken with a huge grain of salt, but still.
