Golden State came out predictably flat after Friday's huge win
SAN FRANCISCO -- Some results come out of nowhere. A pesky 15-seed shoots the lights out and takes down a blue-blood in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. An unknown boxer knocks out the heavyweight champ. An upstart 15-year-old tennis player makes a miraculous run to a major final.
Some results, however, you can see coming a mile away.
Less than 24 hours after the Golden State Warriors picked up their biggest win of the season to snap the Phoenix Suns' franchise-record 18-game winning streak, Saturday night's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs had all the makings of a classic trap game. The Warriors were nursing an emotional hangover on a back-to-back. The 5:30 p.m. Pacific start time was an hour and a half earlier than the night before. San Antonio was a young team with fresh legs that came in riding three straight impressive victories.
