The Golden State Warriors defeated the Washington Wizards, 129—118, on Friday night at the Chase Center behind 30 points and eight three-pointers from Stephen Curry.
Ho hum.
But the Warriors’ victory featured an interesting twist in the final seconds, as Wizards guard Ryan Rollins drained a meaningless three-pointer with 1.1 seconds left on the clock, cutting Golden State’s winning margin to 11 points. The triple by Rollins, who played for the Warriors last season, was significant as it allowed the Wizards, 11.5-point underdogs coming into the game, to cover the point spread.
