in easily the most exciting game i’ve watched all year, the warriors beat the mavericks at home in game 4 of their opening series 103-99. it’s really nice to see all the rabid fans at the coliseum supporting the team. even j-rich made mention of that in his postgame interview on fsn after the game. they had some cold stretches in there but made their shots at the end when they counted. for the most part dirk diggler was pretty cold shooting, although he hit one near the end that brought them close.

and even mickael pietrus came up big with rebounds, blocks and this dunk:

not bad for a french guy.
