The Golden State Warriors dominated the Charlotte Hornets, securing a 115-97 victory, their third straight win. Stephen Curry led with 23 points, including 15 in the second half. Draymond Green contributed 18 points and seven assists, while Podziemski had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. The Warriors outscored the Hornets 64-38 in the paint.
I swear if Kerr uses that last play as a reason to bench Trayce for the rest of the night, they might actually trick this game. Better pray he doesn't go this completely idiotic route.
Warriors win the third quarter 37-21 and take an 89-81 lead into the fourth. Green keys it with his early aggression. He's up to 18 points and seven assists, mixing his offense with stout all-around defense. Curry has 21 points and six assists. Podziemski with 12/7/4.
37-21 Warriors' third quarter
Kerr once again punishes Trayce for no good reason, sitting him at the 5-minute mark with Wiggins, who should have been the only one headed to the bench. Better pray this lead they've created WITH Trayce on the floor can be sustained during this horrific 4G lineup stretch.
Draymond scores the team's first 7 points and the Warriors take back a one-point lead to begin Q3. Unreal.
Steve Kerr is so fucking eager to not play Trayce if he can help it. He is literally CHOOSING to close this quarter with four guards and they can't score for SHIT nor good enough on defense. As soon as they run into adversity, Kerr loses his mind and reverts to utter idiocy.
Horrid Q1, but at least they cut it to a 7-point game. Kerr sat both Trayce and Draymond after their initial minutes. In situations where the 4G lineups are getting wrecked, he must make a quick adjustment and bring Draymond back in at the very least
