Golden State Warriors: 3 takeaways from Game 6 win vs. Rockets
1. They need to focus more
The Warriors had 17 turnovers in the game. 10 of those 17 came in the first half.
They are too good, and they can put up points in such a hurry that they shouldn’t be wasting possessions.
Ultimately, they won the turnover battle because the Rockets were even more sloppy. The Rockets also didn’t always make the Warriors pay for their turnovers. The same can’t be said for one of the teams they could end up facing off with in the NBA Finals.
The Bucks score 12.7 percent of their points in the playoffs off of their opponent’s turnovers. Their athleticism and length make them tough to cover in transition. The Warriors just can’t afford to give up possessions, because, as the playoffs go on, the team’s get better at exploiting your weaknesses. They really tightened up down the stretch, as they had just one turnover in the fourth quarter, but they need to find a way to make that happen all game.
Next. Best sixth man from each franchise's history. dark
We all remember when they melted down to lose the NBA Finals despite having a 3-1 lead. A large flaw of theirs was their carelessness with the ball. On nights when their shots aren’t falling, every possession will matter that much more. If they can take care of the ball how they did in the fourth quarter, they’re going to be a tough team to beat every night on the floor.
