Reading the game thread, you'd think we lost by 50....

Ant always sucks for a couple games after that injury. Problem is he keeps re-aggravating the same injury

Good win. Not our best effort but does not matter. Important is to get a W and get some good rest before going at GSW.

Between the expectation to win and the need to win and the overall meh level of play, I did not enjoy this game.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrooooooooo!!!! Good bounce back, kept them under a 100 too! Plus we had a few minutes of garbage time at the end!

Our offense isn’t always reliable, especially when we miss open three’s, but we’re a good team when we defend.

93 points allowed tonight.

Same. This felt like one of those regular season games playing the Hornets or Wizards but with much higher stakes.

A lot better effort from us tonight but the Warriors were pretty bad too with 17 turnovers and 9 missed free throws.

We need better than this over the next 2 games in San Francisco or it's gonna be frustratingly nail-biting.

33 Assists tonight (13 from the bench) and 10 made 3's from NAW/NAZ/DDV are encouraging.

This is the thing. We don't need perfect offensive execution as long as our defense shows up. And say what you want about our opponents, but the defense has only allowed 105 points one time through 7 postseason games.

Didn't watch the whole thing, but a win is a win, especially if we weren't cooking...

Honestly that was one of the most impressive displays I've seen in the NBA in a long time.
