Not only did the Splash brothers do well tonight, but the whole team also brought out their A-game. They went 21/36 from 3s as a whole, shooting at 58.3%. This marks the highest shooting % from deep for any team this season, when they attempted 25 or more 3s in a single game.

With Draymond Green out for the foreseeable future, the Splash Brothers coming alive is a good sign. The team needs them to shoot better, and if they can manage to stay consistent, the Warriors have a good chance of holding on to their #2 seed for the time being.
