5th road game in 8 days and Steph was liquid nitrogen cold and not in a good way
(29-30) Dubs blow it in the final seconds, despite Oubre, Bazemore and Poole fueling comeback
The Warriors were playing their 5th road game in 8 days, and Stephen Curry and Draymond Green were playing in mud. No Our Guy Juanito, no Damion Lee, no Paschall, the short-handed bunch tried so hard, but couldn’t finish.
On the other hand, it was THAT close to a miracle tie down the stretch. That’s a random ending for you, folks. And with random endings, you don’t want to obsess about the last play out of a long random set of events, because that last play really hurt. So just clean your mind and hug your pet/child/Xbox/phone.
Feel free to vent, or look on the bright side of life in this thread.
Box Score Watch
3.5 games behind ATL (32-26) for league #10. If GSW finishes Top 10, they lose their 2021 1st but keep the 2021 MIN 2nd.
GSW is 3.5 games ahead of NOP at 25-33 for the last play-in spot.
Steph has 1588 PTS / 51 G = 31.14 PTS/G. Beal has 1521 in 49 G = 31.04 PTS/G. So Steph barely holds on to the Scoring Lead.

I didn't think that loss was too painful. The only part that hurts is the reminder that blowing games like this is very much in character.
But still, they were right in it down to the wire. Some calls go the other way, or one of those last two Curry threes drops and it could have easily been a different outcome. I'm going to go look at Oubre's game some more, because I thought he played great (or maybe he was just the least gassed from not playing 5 games in 8 nights).
Also, did anyone else find themselves missing Wiseman last night? The Wizards were getting caught flat footed on a lot of slip screens, and some Wiseman power jams would have been easy money.
And like others are saying, this was a good "thread the needle" game.
