Warriors Weekly: The Playoffs Begin

The Warriors postseason push has began as the Dubs have a 3-0 series lead over the Denver Nuggets in the first-round playoff series. As we look ahead to more postseason play, let’s recap the best of what went down for the Dubs this week and take a peek of what’s to come in the latest Warriors Weekly.

DUBS FIRST-ROUND SERIES SO FARThe Warriors currently hold a 3-0 series lead over the Denver Nuggets, and have won eight consecutive games dating back to the regular season. After two double-digit home victories, including the first ever Warriors playoff game at Chase Center, the Dubs and Nuggets went back-and-forth in the fourth quarter in Thursday night’s Game 3, but key defensive stops led to a 118-113 Warriors win. Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson combined for 80 points in the win.

Game 4 tips off at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 24, with the Warriors having a chance to close out the series on the road. Warriors fans can come out to the West Plaza at Thrive City for Golden State Warriors Playoffs Watch Parties, presented by Chase, which begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday. Taking place during all Warriors road playoff games, the Watch Parties will provide fans the chance to enjoy lawn games, test their skills on the sport court, take advantage of photo opportunities and cheer on the Dubs with the game broadcast on the big screen! Plus, all Chase cardholders can show their Chase credit or debit card to access the Chase Lounge for a VIP experience and receive an exclusive giveaway (while supplies last).

HOW ONE TEACHER CHANGED JUAN TOSCANO-ANDERSON’S LIFE FOREVERTwenty years ago, Juan Toscano-Anderson was initially introduced to basketball by his third grade teacher, Wilhelmina Attles, wife of Hall of Famer and Warriors legend Alvin Attles. That encouragement set Toscano-Anderson on a path that has eventually led with the versatile forward finding a home with the Warriors, his childhood team. “She just changed my life,” Toscano-Anderson humbly shared.

PAYTON PERSEVERESGary Payton II recounts preparing to apply for a desk job in the Warriors’ video department after being cut in October and his long journey to getting to this point. Payton was signed to the Warriors final roster spot four days after his initial release and ended up having a career-season, totaling career-highs in games played, starts, points, rebounds and steals. Payton ranked second in the NBA in steals per 100 minutes, amongst players to appear in at least 40 games. His impact has rolled into his first playoffs run, tallying 11 points in the Dubs’ Game 3 win. “He’s just always a major plus for us every time we throw him out there,” Steve Kerr said after the game.
