How we found out that Andrew Bogut and David Lee weren’t playing last night. Meanwhile, #Bulls coach Thibodeau praised Bogut, not knowing he wasn’t playing. Also lauded Harrison Barnes.
Michael Wilbon was at #Roaracle so Mark Jackson used that opportunity to show how far the #Warriors franchise has come, while explaining patience with “the process”. Also, Andre pregame shootaround drills.
IN-GAME
Not a great start again: #Bulls 23, #Warriors 12, Q1, 4:37. Then #Bulls 29, #Warriors 16, end of Q1. Stephen Curry heating up: 6p 3a.
HIGHLIGHTS! Stephen Curry… from Sausalito! And Draymond Green over Joakim Noah: “Ahhhh!!!”
Pretty awesome shot from behind the bench, with Mark Jackson overheard saying: “I want you to score, and you to score, and you to score.” #Warriors 50, #Bulls, halftime. Also an awesome halftime show. Heading into the third, the Dubs took control. #Warriors 62, #Bulls 56, Q3, 6:55.
#Warriors 74, #Bulls 66, Q3, 2:25. Stephen Curry: 27p 7a. #HAPPY like Pharrell ’cause Craig Sager is dancin with our #LetsGoWarriors buddies at the scoretable! Oh, and we’re winning!
Always fun when #Aftershock comes onboard then leads the #LetsGoWarriors chant! #Warriors 89, #Bulls 77, Q4, 6:15. Then #Warriors 91, #Bulls 83, Q4, 3:04. Stephen Curry 32 pts, 9 ast.
#SplashBrothers were the first teammates in #NBA history with a 3PM in 30 straight games! #Warriors 102, #Bulls 87, FINAL. This guy with 34 pts, 9 ast.

"A guy like that you can't guard individually. You've got to guard him with your team…(with Iguodala/Barnes/Klay) you're spread out"–Thibs
