While both Kerr and Green have both tried to downplay the incident, the bigger problem might be that the Warriors continue to look better without their defensive leader on the floor.

While Hield was the big story, the Warrior defense was just as big a factor led by Draymond Green's huge performance guarding Alperun Sengun.

Stephen Curry put on a masterclass with 36 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, but it was the ability of Gary Payton II to take advantage of Curry's gravity down the stretch that allowed the Warriors to pull away in the fourth-quarter. Buddy Hield's 17-point performance also drew plenty of positives and negatives, while Quinten Post's career-high 12 rebounds is also a huge talking point despite shooting 1-of-7 from the floor.

A Chicago Bulls perspective on a potential trade!]]> On this episode I'm joined by Pippen Ain't Easy's Austin McGee to discuss the latest reports from The Athletic linking the Warriors to Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic.

We also get into the defensive concerns, whether they'd be mitigated in Golden State by the presence of Draymond Green, and what the Bulls would be after in a trade with the Warriors.
