What happened
The Warriors entered the week 0-3 and left it 4-3, which is how a misery index falls from 71 to 9. The turn came in Denver, a 134-114 rout that had one fan shouting "IGNORE THE FIRST 3 GAMES." Steph Curry steadied a 119-114 escape in Minnesota, and "Steph dropping Luka" made the 112-95 Lakers win instant scripture. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg's 37 points in a 124-112 win over the Clippers sealed it. Now "The Chef finally has help," and the first three games are politely forgotten.
