- Warriors Start The Season 7-1
Welcome back hoops fans!
This is the 22nd edition of The Hoops Insider, where we bring you the latest updates from the world of hoops. Today we cover the Warriors starting the NBA season blazing hot, with a record of 7-1! Let’s hop right into it!
The Warriors Are For Real
The Golden State Warriors sent a resounding message to the NBA on Wednesday night: This 7-1 start is no fluke. In their most challenging test of the young season, the Warriors marched into TD Garden and emerged with a statement 118-112 victory over the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics.
When it mattered most, Stephen Curry reminded everyone why he's still one of the NBA's most lethal closers. With the game hanging in the balance, Curry orchestrated a masterful 22-15 run in the final four minutes, turning what had been a tight contest into a convincing road victory. The two-time MVP finished with a team-high 27 points, shooting an efficient 8-17 from the field and 4-9 from beyond the arc.
Defense Makes the Difference
While Curry's offensive fireworks will grab the headlines, it was the Warriors' collective defensive effort that truly sealed the deal. Despite the Celtics holding a seven-point advantage in the fourth quarter, Golden State's defensive intensity rose to championship levels down the stretch, stifling Boston's typically potent offense.
The victory was even more impressive considering the circumstances – the Celtics entered as six-point favorites and had been dominant at home. Yet the Warriors showed the poise and execution that has defined their dynasty, improving their record to a league-best 7-1.
By The Numbers & Looking Ahead
- Warriors' Record: 7-1
