After the worst fourth-quarter collapse in the NBA this season and the first 20-plus point lead blown by the Warriors in a regular-season game since 2007, Golden State is heading on the road for a brutal stretch of games to start off what appears to be a ruthless March.
And while one loss — as terrible and indefensible as it was — should not carry too much weight amid an 82-game schedule, it's impossible to not view this upcoming stretch of four road games in a new light.
The loss to the Mavericks was so big, so memorable for all the wrong reasons, that I can't help but think it'll serve as a pivot point for the Warriors this season.
