You are locked on Warriors daily Golden State Warriors podcast. I'm Daniel were your host and so happy

to bring you your team every day. The Warriors got a nice 113-103 win over the Charlotte Hornets,

the last game of the road trip. So when all was said and done, they ended up with one loss out of

the four games, which is totally fine. I talked before the road trip about how I thought

three and one or four and a really nice success. They ended up getting three and one after the

loss of the Miami Heat. And the defining stretch of this game was in the fourth quarter during that

closing kick, which has been an issue for the Warriors before the last couple of games, even though they

did lose against Miami, they did a nice job in crunch time because they were just behind by so

much. And the Warriors went to Dremont at Center with five minutes and 52 seconds left. And in that

last stretch after Kevin Durant hit free throws before they went to Dramond at Center, the Warriors

outscored the Hornets 20 to 9. They were 7 of 11 from the field, 4 of 4 from the line, did not turn the ball over,

and went on a big run. And the big point to me there was beyond not getting in their own way,

was that the Draymond at Center lineups creates so many problems for

opponents because there is not an effective counter. At the beginning of the run, the Hornets tried to

use Spencer Hawes at Center because they didn't have Cody Zeller. Zellers probably would be in their

best five against the Draymond at center lineup, but Cody Zeller did

not play in this game.

They tried him.

That didn't work.

Then they tried out Marco Bellanelli.

That didn't work either, also because Marco Bellanelli can't really defend, and there

isn't a place to hide him in that lineup.
