Warriors flipped the calendar, not a switch, to start postseason

The Warriors opening the NBA playoffs with a wire-to-wire rout of the respected but assailable San Antonio Spurs was not the result of flipping of some mystical, magical switch. It was, according to Kevin Durant, more of a flipping of the mental calendar from six months of tedium and disparate objectives to two months of full commitment to single-minded purpose. "Throughout the regular season, so many guys are playing for so many different things," Durant told NBC Sports Bay Area on Sunday.
