After Action Report
The Warriors ran roughshod over the Kings 127-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. Warriors' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Warriors looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
