But the offense sabotaged what should have been a double-digit victory. The Warriors took 12 fewer shots in the paint (40) than beyond the arc but found eight more buckets. They too often fell into the habit of jacking up 3-pointers despite countless possessions in which ball movement led to layups.
There was one third-quarter possession that should have sent a memo to the entire roster. They missed three consecutive 3-point attempts, grabbing the rebound each time, before Nate Williams put an end to the madness with, of course, a layup.
