Story of the season: the Warriors get a gift-wrapped opportunity to steal a win that you’d expect them to normally have trouble with (second half of a back-to-back at the end of along road trip — but against a Nets team missing their best player and just back from Europe), and they throw it away with a complete inability to score when it matters most.

Last night, it was down the stretch: The Warriors offense basically shut down with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and they saw a small lead bleed away against a Nets team that was almost as bad, but still was able to do enough to pick up the win.

Thus ends a brutal 2-5 road trip, one they needed to at least go 4-3 on to come home with some semblance of self-respect. Instead, we’re now left with playing out the string yet again. Sad that avoiding 50 losses remains one of the few moral victories left within reach.
