It was a 9-10 play-in game.

0:02.7

Not exactly the highest stakes in the world, but Stefan Curry versus Kauai Leonard,

0:08.0

Dray-Mond Green versus Kauai Leonard, it gave us some amazing entertainment.

0:12.9

And it's just a reminder that even if the stakes are not the highest,

0:17.2

two teams playing as hard as they can, really smart coaches, really smart players, even with some new faces.
