Warriors rediscover their joy as Stephen Curry prepares to return for Game 2

While reviewing video Sunday of the Warriors' Game 1 rout of the Pelicans in the Western Conference semifinals, Steve Kerr paused it late in the second quarter. There on the screen was Klay Thompson swishing a corner three-pointer in front of the bench as his teammates erupted into a frenzy. "Did you see that play when Klay hit that three in front of the bench, and they were all up hugging him?" Kerr said after practice Monday afternoon. "That warmed my heart." It signaled that, after perhaps the most uninspired 58-win regular season in league history, Golden State is finally ready to enjoy itself again. And that is a troubling development for New Orleans.
