No. 1 Golden State (67-15) vs. No. 8 New Orleans (45-37)
It’s Golden State vs. the Pelican State.
It’s the team that rolled to the NBA’s best record, facing an underdog that had to scratch and claw to get in the playoffs on the last night of the regular season.
It’s two of the game’s brightest young stars, Stephen Curry and Anthony Davis, who are among the many reasons why the NBA is in such a great place right now.
It’s a matchup of head coaches with San Antonio Spurs roots, branches on the extensive Gregg Popovich tree that’s been sprouting everywhere.
