I get why people would think this, but this is reversion to the mean at the micro level.

Coming into tonight, they were shooting 31/104. Tonight they shot 24/45

That is 37% for the series, and they shot 38% in the regular season.



And people are saying "this is what it takes to beat GS"

They fricking skull drug them

You see this, literally, every year in the NBA playoffs. A higher seed goes up 3-0 and then gets beat handily in game 4 on the road. The series then usually ends in 5.

Most teams can muster one final stand at home to keep their season going, and frankly it's tough to keep fighting hard for 48 minutes as the better team in that scenario knowing you have two more home games left to get it done.

The Warriors are clearly the better team by a fair margin.
