The Warriors played their first game of the 2019 NBA Playoffs on Saturday night, welcoming the Los Angeles Clippers to Oracle Arena. The Warriors began their title defense with an impressive 121-104 win and, as Dub Nation has come to expect over these past seasons, it was Stephen Curry who led the way.
The long-distance assault
In Game 1, Curry scored 38 points, which was the most he scored in a playoff game since scoring 40 points against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the 2017 Western Conference Finals.
