The Golden State Warriors put together another encouraging week without Stephen Curry, highlighted by two gritty performances against two of the best teams out West.
They opened the week with an underwhelming performance against the Clippers on Monday, completely disappearing in the second half and allowing Los Angeles to close the gap in the standings.
The Warriors pulled off an incredible upset in Houston on Thursday despite missing almost all of their key players, then carried that momentum into Oklahoma City where Golden State put up a good fight against the reigning champions. Kristaps Porzingis returned to the lineup on Saturday night and flashed plenty of reasons for optimism.
