On our livestream for the Indiana game, we came to the conclusion that against younger, longer, athletic teams just to win one game, the Warriors are just, well, too old, too small, and not as athletic. During the diminishing of the 12-point lead in the second quarter, Chris Paul got outsized by Aaron Nesmith for an offensive rebound and Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton ran a pick-and-roll that had Paul and Stephen Curry as the help defense on the roll side.
