...when the Warriors are down by 19 points, they are considered to be still "hanging around" unlike other teams.
This sort of loss doesn't say a ton to me about the Warriors, these things happen in closeout games. In 2000 the Pacers beat us 120-87 in game 5, we closed it out in game 6. The Warriors can close it out at home and blue and gold confetti can rain down on the Kang, and 15-1 is safe.
