The sluggish Warriors pulled out a win against the also sluggish Sacramento Kings in the 2021.12.20.SAC-GSW game. The Kings managed to get it to within five points with the fourth quarter winding down, but the Warriors used their new version of the old small ball death lineup. We still have Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala.

But instead of Klay Thompson (for now), we have Damian Lee. And instead of Harrison Barnes, we have Otto Porter Jr. And they did a pretty good job down the stretch. And in particular, the classic three of Steph, Dray and Andre showed a lot of almost telepathic teamwork to rip off a 12-0 run and close out the game.

Also with Buddy Hield, Tristen Thompson, Chimezie Metu, Maurice Harkless, and Dub Nation HQ’s winner of the most desired 2020 draft pick tournament, Tyrese Haliburton.
