00:00LA was an ever-so-slight, basically Moneyline pick-em-favorite at home.
00:05The Dubs had other ideas.
00:06Golden State goes into Los Angeles, winning by 7, 123-116,
00:11outright as the slight dog, behind 37 points and 4 made triples from Stephen Curry.
00:18Yeah, both of these teams shot over 43-point shots last night.
00:21So that war of attrition, 45% though, for the Warriors on the road,
00:2519-0-42, about 84% from the free-throw line.
00:28Here's the thing.
00:29Like, I thought the Lakers would be the better team yesterday.
00:31Not because it was like a margin of, oh, we have better players than you,
00:35but just I like the spot for them on their home court and thought they would prevail.
00:38They didn't do that.
00:39So I'm starting, like, trying to reassess, like,
00:41what I'm actually going to get in the playoffs out of the Golden State Warriors
00:44because it is clear, with the addition of Jimmy Butler,
00:46has really changed that team for the better here.
00:48Draymond Green, Steph Curry, like, reinvigorated.
00:50Podjemski now, 28 points last night, added into the starting lineup recently.
00:54I like what I see out of the Warriors.
00:56I just don't know, Ben, how to gauge them moving forward.
00:59Did you see the fourth quarter yesterday, by the way?
01:0039 points for the Lakers, 35 for the Golden State Warriors.
01:03Both of those teams really hitting the gas pedal
01:05after lackluster performances all the way through.
01:07But for myself, again, I'm still in that waiting pattern.
01:10Like, what are the Warriors?
01:12Are they really this good?
01:13Could they do damage in the playoffs?
01:14A veteran-laden team with extra time to rest?
01:17Could they do something?
01:18That's what I'm trying to lay.
01:19But that's a big-time win for the Golden State Warriors,
01:21which I thought the Lakers would win last night.
