Steve Kerr Admitting Golden State Got Lucky Tells the Entire Story of Warriors-Blazers Game 2

The most infuriating aspect of the Golden State Warriors' dominance is not the fact that they're a force we've never seen before. It's not even their unabashed swagger. It's the harsh reality that every time they finally seem to be faltering, they get EVERY bounce and completely shift the narrative.

That's exactly what happened in their Western Conference Finals Game 2 matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland led by 17 to open up the third quarter and then by as many as eight with just under 4:30 remaining in the game, but don't worry. All you had to do was look down at your phone for 20 seconds to see that had all been erased and that the Blazers blew their one golden opportunity.

Head coach Steve Kerr even knows it. He admitted the Blazers out-played the Warriors for most of the contest. How in the world were they able to win after starting 3-of-13 from three-point range compared to Portland's 11-of-22 effort?

Every single one of the Warriors' 12 offensive rebounds seemed too good to be true, and every miss from the Blazers in crunch time contributed to one of the most convenient chokes we've seen in a while. Of course, this one will go under the radar because of the Warriors' timely sharpshooting, which was epitomized on their 13-0 run late in the third quarter.

What's even crazier, you ask? The Blazers shot a ridiculous 46.2% from three but 44.2% from the field overall. On the other hand, the Warriors were just 31% from three-point range, which is usually where they crush you in the box score, and 51.2% overall.

In what world does a team shoot better outside the arc than inside it and manage to lose a game by three points? In the Warriors' world. That's where.
