Here are three takeaways from a loss that dropped the Warriors to 5-8 on the season and 0-7 on the road.Whether it's seconds or minutes, the Warriors are a completely different team with Steph sitting on the bench. He was sidelined for four minutes in the second quarter, and that was enough to factor into the Warriors losing a 15-point lead and trailing by two going into halftime.
Though the Warriors made seven of their nine 2-point shots in the quarter, they settled for tries from downtown early in the shot clock far too often. And those shots weren't falling. As a team, the Warriors went 2-for-10 on 3-point attempts during the second-quarter collapse. Two nights after scoring 18 points with four 3-pointers, Jordan Poole showed more signs of the Sixth Man turning the corner. He didn't need any extra dribbles. He didn't have to showcase all the razzle-dazzle to his game.
