Don't blame the player and the team that did it right. Blame the less-efficient copycats, who surely will find a new thing to copy soon.

Warriors: With Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) and Kyle Anderson (hamstring) missing from the frontcourt, the Warriors built a 26-5 lead behind an 8-for-12 start from 3-point range. This was a had-to-have-it performance for a team Green recently said lost its soul.

Stephen Curry said that while he wants the slumping Warriors to improve, he doesn't want the team to make a "desperate" move that would "deplete the future."
