Harrison Barnes added 17 points against his old team for Sacramento, whose fans were told to leave those noisy cowbells at home because they're banned at Chase Center. Warriors fans were raucous in their own right sporting yellow "Gold Blooded" t-shirts and pounding Thunderstix. NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown, who received a shipment of new Vans sneakers, warned of what might happen if his team let down even in the slightest: "If we're overconfident we're going to get our behinds handed to us because these guys are champions."Rapper E-40 returned courtside for Game 3 fashionably late and fashionable.
