The reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors have looked better than ever this season. They’re 6-0, they’ve only really been challenged once, and are beating opponents by an average of nearly twenty points. In short, they are dominant. They’re so dominant, in fact, that one of their own players are surprised by their own dominance.
Take Friday night, as the Warriors obliterated the Denver Nuggets. Golden State led 74-44 at halftime and racked up 28 assists on 30 made field goals in the first half alone, breaking a franchise record. Draymond Green was asked about this at the customary halftime interview, and suffice to say, even he was a bit taken aback by Golden State’s ball-moving dominance.
That little eyebrow raise and wide-eyed look is just great. For context, via Sports Illustrated’s Ben Golliver, 20 NBA teams have yet to rack up 28 assists in an entire game this season. No wonder Green is so astonished. His team is doing astonishing things so far this season, and backing Steph Curry’s assertion that this year’s team is even better than last year’s.
