67.27 - 84.297 Es Baraheni

Yeah, not the worst. Wasn't as bad as Memphis game five, 2022. It actually Marcus made this point to me on our postgame podcast. It was actually a reminiscent of game four of the West finals that year against Dallas. They were up three Oh, and they got blown out.

85.257 - 96.882 Es Baraheni

Went to the bench and the bench, including Moses Moody at the time, like Nemanja Bialica, played so well that there was a moment in the fourth. It was like, should you go back to the starters? Right. And that's what did happen tonight. There was Steph Curry at one point.

96.942 - 116.112 Es Baraheni

Well, pretty soon after they pulled the plug with 18 minutes left, took his thumb wrap off, like unwrapped it, took his ankle braces off. And those things are contraptions. I don't know if you've seen them. Yeah, yeah. And, like, gave him to the trainers and whatever. And then it was right around when Kevin Knox hit a three to cut it to, like, 15 in the corner.

116.593 - 134.131 Es Baraheni

And Ime Udoka goes back to his starters, by the way, which I guess he kind of had to. But then Steph called the ankle braces down and put his ankle braces back on, like, Steve Kerr says he was never thinking to go back to him, but it got mildly interesting for a second. And we had a skirmish, mop-up type of skirmish.

134.151 - 141.816 Anthony Slater

Right, yeah. Cam Spencer, as the broadcast said. They mistakenly called him Cam Spencer. Yeah.

141.936 - 143.017 Es Baraheni

Headbutt, he got ejected.
