Fog City Showdown: Warriors open five-game homestand with a statement
Ball movement is back at Chase Center, and the second unit is finally carrying its weight.
For the first time in weeks the Warriors looked like the version of themselves the Bay fell in love with: forty-plus assists, cutters flying off off-ball screens and a crowd that never sat down in the fourth quarter.
The bench was the story. A second unit that had bled leads all October instead stretched a six-point cushion into fifteen across the second quarter, buying the starters rest the coaching staff has been desperate to find.
The schedule now tilts friendly. Four more games at home, three against teams under .500, gives Golden State a real chance to climb back into the top six before the calendar turns.
