If this is truly the last Draymond game in a Dubs uniform, let it be known it was a game in which Steph Curry did NOT play.

One of these teams are on the second game of a back-to-back, and the other is playing after a 3-day break.
Based on how they're moving, one would think the former is referring to the Dubs and the latter is referring to the Sixers.

"Chicago" action for Melton out of a Delay setup gets Melton downhill, draws help away from the corner, spray to Gui in the corner for the three.
First bucket of the half for the Dubs.

ORTG: 114.9
DRTG: 118.8
Sixers have taken 12 more shot attempts than the Dubs due to the Dubs' turnover problem (have turned it over on 23% of their possessions, 2nd percentile). Possession battle in favor of the Sixers, Dubs fortunate to be down only 3

Moody using his length to bother Oubre, force him toward Draymond's contest, trail in transition for the three.

They are really, really missing Jimmy's ability to win them the possession battle.

A 123.1 ORTG in the first quarter without Steph Curry, built on constant ball and player movement. Not bad.

Drives, cuts, swing-swing, anything to put the 76ers in the blender. Liking the emphasis on movement. Will need it without bonafide advantage creation.

Drag screen for Podz, peep at Moody shaking from the corner to create a long closeout for the tagging Edgecombe. Drills the three. Still hot from outside.

I've been covering the Warriors for far too long to think that comeback was anything close to real lol

Not enough words can be said about Gui Santos' effort tonight.

Well, it was only a matter of time till Steph found *something* against Ausar, who's done a good job on him tonight.

Both of them are good on that end but I don't think it's a hot take to say Ausar >> Amen as a defender.

Can't afford to be this casual with passes against Ausar, man. Just can't.

Incredibly horrid defensive half from the Dubs. Need to do much better if they hope to come back in the second half.

Gui has been excellent as a screen and slip man this season. Has the patience in the paint to get defenders up in the air before going up for the shot, draws a foul in the process.

Melton's shot creation off the dribble has been fun to watch.
The Dubs' defense, on the other hand, hasn't been fun to watch.
