Let’s skip straight to the end, but first let’s give some context.
Just seconds before the Golden State Warriors tipped off against the Charlotte Hornets, they announced that Steph Curry would not be playing, as he was not feeling well. The Dubs were behind the eight ball from the onset.
And the predictable happened: they fell behind early, and trailed by nine points after the first quarter. But just as they did against the Orlando Magic the night prior, the Warriors chipped away at the lead, eliminated it, and replaced it with a double-digit lead of their own.
