What an interesting Friday night of NBA results...
- Nets become third team this week to erase a 25 pt deficit and win at Celtics of all teams
- Knicks stay hot in buzzer beating win at Heat
- Warriors yet again erase double digit (17) point first half deficit to win by 9, to go 5-0 on homes sand and go 4 games over .500
- Clippers fight back in final minutes and miss buzzer beater to lose at Kings by 1 and go 0-5 since ASB
- Nuggets come back to win at home vs. Memphis to run further away with #1 seed in West; Kings just 1 GB of #2 seed
Jonathan Kuminga is now in the closing lineup for W's, playing great defense and attacking the rim without the ball, really great to see. And once again the defense shows up, holding Pelicans to 99! Now we get to see if that D travels and how Curry fits in to this evolved lineup.
Tim Kawakami predicts W's to now go 9-9 the rest of the way, to finish 43-39. He just doesn't believe the W's can play the kind of defense they played on this past home stand, on the road, based on their 7-23 road record to date. I'm not as confident they can't, because I didn't think they could play the D they in fact did on the home stand, so am less skeptical they can start playing it on the road.
Suns at Mavericks and Warriors at Lakers makes for a pretty compelling ABC double-header on Sunday.
