Spurs-Warriors in NBA’s Western Conference Finals: Five Takeaways From Game 1

The Golden State Warriors' dramatic come-from-behind Game 1 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals was the team's 24th win in its past 25 games. The last time the Warriors went 24-1 was at the outset of their historic 2015-16 season, when they opened 24-0 before losing at the Milwaukee Bucks. In terms of one player's value to his team, Sunday's game at Oracle Arena demonstrated that there is no better squad in the NBA that relies on one player as much as the Spurs rely on sixth-year forward Kawhi Leonard.
