The Golden State Warriors welcomed Andrew Wiggins and Andre Iguodala back to the rotation on Saturday night, but just as the Dubs were getting healthier, they got hit with some bad news. Warriors guard Klay Thompson was a late scratch with knee soreness. Maybe the last-minute surprise played a role in the deflated showing Golden State had in a 115-101 loss to the Magic.
The Warriors fell behind early and never recovered. Draymond Green got in early foul trouble, and without his presence on the floor, the Warriors mediocre defense fell even further. Two-way forward Anthony Lamb did take advantage of the extra playing time, posting a career-high 26 points, scoring 22 in his first 12 minutes of action.
