The Golden State Warriors might rank only 19th in bench net rating so far this season, but they're starting to showcase the makings of a strong second unit after running away with a 137-103 victory over the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center on Friday night.
With the game awkwardly sitting tied at 84 late in the third-quarter, it was Jimmy Butler and the bench unit who inspired a 13-0 run to close the period and what ended as an incredible 53-19 run over the remainder of the game.
Warriors bench is starting to become a major strength
The combination of De'Anthony Melton and Al Horford continues to be a dynamic duo off the bench, having both hit form and a rhythm after respective injury issues.
