In the immortal words of Scott Hall (RIP), that win was… TOO. SWEEEEEEET!

Just finished watching it on league pass. This defense is so fun to watch. Granted, Klay really shook loose for his fair share of open shots (that missed) but that wouldn’t have made up for the margin. C’s relaxed in the 3rd after racing out to a 20-pt lead but strangled them again soon after.

This team is really good. That said, I hope the wins come more sparingly. I think the 4th seed is exactly where you want to be. HCA in the first round, avoid Milwaukee in the 2nd round.

What a great win.  GS wouldn't have won this even if Curry didn't go out with injury.  Dominating defensive performance.

I would say Poole going for 19 in the 3rd (27 in the 2nd half) made up for any Steph run had he not gotten injured. The defense, especially in the 1st half, was otherworldly stuff - another impressive performance by our guys!

Arguably our best defensive effort of the season and thats saying a lot. The Warriors were lost on offense and forced to put up a ton of ugly shots.

It was a statement win for the C's.

Just watched the replay, loved our hustle on defense. This team is slowly learning to continue to compete even when not shooting well - we started the first quarter 3-12 from 3 but they didn't drop their heads and the shooting didn't affect their defense. It's great when we win when we shoot 50-60% but in a way the wins where we grind them out even when we shoot terribly are more impressive to me, because it shows willpower and mental fortitude that was lacking earlier in the season.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

have to watch the second half that I recorded but this is a terrific win.  team showing the ability to beat a good team on the road even when they're shooting poorly.  now we're in the 4th seed and not that far out of 2nd.

The formula for playing winning basketball is now being ingrained in this team. Trust is the new name of the game, besides the J's.

Rewatched the game via the Warriors feed. Their announcers were extremely impressed by our defense.  They also singled out Pritchard noting that he competes hard defensively even if he's a liability for his size and he buried them in the 4th Q.
