- “This was the team’s summer dream come to life. When the Warriors added Kevin Durant to a 73-win squad featuring a back-to-back MVP and two other All-Stars, they were seeking a level higher than very good. They were chasing greatness, with a long and active defense generating easy shots for a glut of great shooters.” — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
- “The Warriors’ team chemistry is still a work in progress, but Golden State’s offense is ahead of schedule. The Warriors’ rank first in scoring (119.2 points per game), assists (31.9) and field goal percentage (50.2 percent). Golden State scored 149 points in Wednesday’s win against the Lakers, the most by any team in regulation since the Phoenix Suns had 152 points in a March 16, 2010 win vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers may not be as efficient, but their offense is just as explosive as they rank fourth in scoring overall (109.6 ppg).” — Kevin Cottrell Jr., NBA.com
- “No one could’ve guessed this kind of assist explosion was coming. But things have been trending in this direction. The Warriors entered the night on an eight-game win streak, having dished out 30 or more assists in all eight games, a streak only matched in the past 26 seasons by last season’s Warriors.” — Anthony Slater, The Mercury News
