Warriors sss!

Steph Curry leads the comeback win | Golden State Of Mind

Only two games into this NBA season and I'm already thinking Championship for the Golden State Warriors. Main reason being their depth and resilience.

Last night's overtime win over the Denver Nuggets saw the Warriors overcome a 50-pt outburst by Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon, who I believe set some type of record in going 11 for 13 on three-point shooting.

The Warriors coming off a takedown of the L.A. Lakers Tuesday night, started the game on a 10-0 run. But Denver seemed to easily and quickly come back to tie then commandingly take the lead. It looked to me throughout almost three quarters that the Nuggets were just a step ahead of the Warriors in shooting and defense. They held Steph Curry to something like 7-pts in the first half which ended with the Warriors trailing 71-59.

The second half saw Warriors defense and an overall synchronicity take hold of the team as they battled and were defensively able to compete with the Nuggets. Then with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Steph makes the first two of his fifteen points in the quarter to get the game to overtime. And it was at this moment, the end of the fourth quarter, every Warriors fan in Chase Arena as well as us watching at home knew our team has recaptured the fire and passion that has seen them become a championship dynasty. 

It took an all-around cast playing clutch, championship style basketball down the stretch to put this surging Denver Nuggets team to bed. Steph Curry (42pts) makes ridiculous clutch shots, always has. But when you see the likes of other Warriors stepping up their games in crunch time, it sends a huge message to the league as well as fans watching.

The message says they're hungry and will battle until the final game buzzer goes off. It says they are never out of a game regardless of the opponent, as long as they band together as a team, knowing that their biggest nemesis is a breakdown in trust, communication and commitment toward one another. It says their back to being Warriors and have their eyes on the 2025-26 prize.
