OAKLAND – There won’t be many, if any, more teams coming into Oracle Arena less equipped to battle the Warriors than the Grizzlies that took the floor Monday night.
They were heavy underdogs that morning and lost most any realistic chance of upsetting the defending champions when Mike Conley, the point guard and hub of the roster, was declared out of action a hour before tipoff.
So the Warriors took care of business without fanfare, coasting to a 110-93 win. Here are some positives and negatives taken from the game:
POSITIVE
Iguodala’s shooting
Andre Iguodala’s tendency to move the ball – an overt attempt to set an example for his teammates – renders him reluctant to shoot.
