After an impressive victory over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, the Golden Warriors made sure they didn’t follow it up with let-down game against the lowly Boston Celtics.
The Warriors came out blazing from the start with a 12-2 lead and never looked back on their way to an easy 108-88 blowout victory, ending their six-game road trip on a high note with a 4-2 record. They led by as many as 31 points in the third quarter, as the Celtics provided next to no resistance on the defensive end. With this win, Golden State is now two games ahead of the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, and three games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies for the sixth seed in the West.
Despite dislocating his finger late in the fourth quarter against the Pacers, Andre Iguodala suited up on Wednesday and played 23 effective minutes with 11 points on five-of-nine shooting from the field and four rebounds. After the contest, the forward pointed out something interesting he saw in the crowd during the game:
PAC was in the building tonight!

The “PAC” he’s referring to is rap artist Tupac Shakur, who we all know (despite the endless number of rumors out there) is no longer with us. Tell that to this guy, though, who sported the classic Tupac look with his bandana on backwards:
Well done, Tupac doppelgänger.
