Thursday was a character win for the Warriors. One of the highest order.
The Dubs didn’t have to win Game 3 to win this series, but a 3-0 series lead would effectively end the series, securing a tidy start to the playoffs for the Warriors and likely as much as a week of rest before the second round.
The blowout wins in the first two games of the series were great, but the margin of victory didn’t matter in Game 3. This was a pass/fail test, and a great team — a true championship contender — would care of business on Thursday.
