Despite the Golden State Warriors winning the first three games of the series, the absence of Stephen Curry has started to show cracks in their armor. On the surface, the scoreboard says otherwise—but tonight’s game proved that relying solely on Kevin Durant isn’t a sustainable strategy, especially as the competition stiffens.
