Warriors’ season a study in perseverance

There were no record-setting win streaks. No all-time best record. No unprecedented three-point totals. Nothing close to the type of domination to which Warriors fans had become accustomed in the three previous seasons. Instead, the Warriors' 2017-18 season will be remembered for the team having succeeded despite injuries to All-Stars and bench players alike. A tip of the cap if you knew that Nick Young appeared in the most games (80) of any Golden State player. And yet — with the ailments and having lost 10 of 17 to end the regular season — there they were in mid-April, rolling into the playoffs with a 58-24 record and the No. 2 seeding in the Western Conference.
