In the early weeks of December, the Golden State Warriors faced the Chicago Bulls at their home, Chase Centre. Dubnation erupted in cheer throughout the game, while Jordan Poole (30 points) and Klay Thompson (26 points) led the Warriors to an 8-point victory. The Warriors saw contributions coming from all members of the team. Stephen Curry bagged 19 points while Draymond Green knocked a couple of three-pointers – indicating that he was getting back into his groove. Considering the sluggish start to their season, this was a much-needed win for the defending champions. While the win is long gone, one moment from the game continues to be the talk of the town.
The game revolved around Anthony Lamb, who is on a two-way contract with the Warriors. Through the course of the season, Lamb has proved to be a valuable addition to the team. On several occasions, Coach Steve Kerr focused on showering heaps of praise on the youngster. With that said, one moment from the game against the Bulls left the Warriors’ bench, and NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal was perplexed.

The hope among the Golden State Warriors troop
The Warriors are in a critical position. They have lost 29 games and won 29. They are 9th on the Western Conference table while their franchise ace Stephen Curry aids to an injury. One thing is for sure, the defending champions can win without Curry. But closing out on games and third-quarter plays continue to trouble them.
