Quick Summary

The Golden State Warriors faced an embarrassing situation when the NBA shifted their game against the Dallas Mavericks from ESPN to a less prominent time slot and replaced it with a Celtics-Nuggets matchup due to Steph Curry's injury absence. Curry, a key player, is expected to miss significant time with an oblique injury following a Friday blowout loss against the Spurs. The Warriors, who went 13-26 last season without Curry, now rely heavily on rookie Yaxel Lendeborg to help maintain their performance until Curry's return in two weeks.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
