It wasn’t all that long ago that the Toronto Raptors took advantage of a rash of injuries to knock the Golden State Warriors out of the Finals. Watching Stephen Curry fight through contact all night was oddly reminiscent of those fateful Finals.

Only this time, the Golden State supporting cast was more than up to the task of dismantling a defense that was over-committed to stopping Curry.

Jordan Poole with 33 points tonight on 105.5% True Shooting Andrew Wiggins with 32 points on 76.6% True Shooting Solid formula to win by double digits when Steph has an off night!

In a sense, the Raptors game plan worked. Curry was slapped …err sorry, I mean covered… by defenders all night, limiting him to just 12 points. But the rest of the Warriors absolutely cooked Toronto all night.

Jordan Poole (33 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) was too quick and elusive, especially when his three point shot is falling like it did tonight (8 of 11 from deep). And Wiggins has been on a tear since that Timberwolves game. He was aggressive and really smart about choosing when and how to attack.

Man oh man does this feel good!

The Warriors have earned a couple of days off before running a multi-state gauntlet of playoff teams.

Are these the test? I feel like the next five or six games will be tough. The Warriors have been smashing through pretty much everything that comes their way, so we’ll have to see if the results are any different against some of the league’s better teams. I’m feeling pretty hopeful!

If you sort every NBA player w/ 100+ MIN on November 22 by the AVERAGE OF THEIR RANKS in 8 catch-alls (Box Plus/Minus, RAPTOR, Estimated Plus-Minus and Game Score per 36 minutes, as well as the cumulative versions of each), this is the top 30...

On the season…

Poole 22.3 pts per 36 on .583 true shooting

Wiggs 23.3 pts per 36 on .594 true shooting

Even Dray$ has suddenly found efficiency at his low volume (9.4 pts per 36 on .595 true shooting, to go with 9.6 reb and 9.2 ast).

Ws now have the #2 offense in the league, to go with their #1 defense.
