On the second night of a back-to-back, the Golden State Warriors ran into a motivated Portland Trail Blazers squad on Friday to take their only loss of the season.
Other than on that night, everything appears to have clicked right into place for this team.
Stephen Curry is, to no one’s surprise, still shooting the lights out in his age-37 campaign. Al Horford looks like a near-perfect fit, with his experience, passing and defense. Jimmy Butler continues to look like one of the best acquisitions of the last 12 months. And even Jonathan Kuminga, after his offseason-long stalemate with the front office, looks motivated and is making better decisions as a starter.
Even with one of the oldest rotations in the league, the Warriors look like a bona fide title contender right now.
