An update on the Warriors' clutch time performance. They're only ~3 wins off of their '21-22 clutch win rate (~5 off of '18-19), but the notable issue is still how many close games they've been in. They just couldn't create or maintain separation enough w/ their middling edge. https://t.co/qbzL3vxmfb
