The Golden State Warriors managed to pull off an impressive victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. While their star players are still out of the lineup, the Dubs managed to play true to their style versus the Cavs.
In fact, they finished with a record performance as they finished with a franchise record for three-point makes in a single quarter. The Warriors detailed the achievement that will surely impress a lot of fans.
The fact that the Warriors chose to keep up with their reliance on the three-ball is commendable, given their terrible performances over the season. This time, their long-range bombs managed to connect, and the result was a dominant win over the Cavs.
Leading the charge from the three-point line was D'Angelo Russell. The shooting guard had a solid night from long distance, making six of his 11 three-point attempts. He finished the night with 19 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists.
However, he wasn't the only one who was on fire from three-point land tonight. Glenn Robinson III had a 3-of-5 shooting clip from long range, and Damion Lee split his four long-range attempts. Alec Burks was also good from the bench, making three of his five attempts. Draymond Green was the conductor of the game plan for the Warriors. He finished with an absurd stat line of eight points, seven rebounds, 16 assists, two steals, and two blocks.
It seems like they are ramping up their play as news of Stephen Curry's return has recently arrived. The Dubs are hopeful that they will get their baby-faced assassin back by March. While the playoffs may be too late for them, his return should help the Warriors back to regular programming and finish their first season at the Chase Center on a positive note.
The Warriors do want a higher draft pick this year, but the Dubs also want to leave this season knowing they can play their best basketball.
