Well, well, well...
The Warriors obliterated the Clippers 70-35 in the second half to erase an 11 point half time deficit, becoming the first team in NBA history to win two consecutive games by 15+ points after trailing by double digits in both first halves of those games. ESPN really needs to adjust its algorithm for predictions. I thought the Clips would win too, but 79% chance of winning was outrageous.
The W's have been sneaky better on defense in the last four games - all wins - lately, and held the Clippers to the fewest points (91) of any opponent this season. They are now a season high 3 games over .500. Still going to be tough to finish .500, but they certainly have the talent to do it. The question is will they continue putting out the effort on defense needed to win on the road that they have shown through this home stand? Will they even bring that effort tonight against New Orleans?
Maybe people have written off the Mavs too quickly. They did in fact beat the Sixers, with Irving and Doncic looking dominant.
The prognosticators are going to have no idea how to pick WC playoffs. The East first round is going to be chalk. Or is anyone really buying into the New York Knickerbockers?
