They went into the locker room at halftime trailing by 10 as OKC shot 59.6 percent from the field, including 57.1 percent from deep while also making 15 of 21 free throws. After building a first-half lead only three times in the first 20 games since the All-Star break, the Warriors were up 10 at halftime Sunday in Denver. A new day? Nope. Some old habits die hard.Playing time has been rare this season for Moses Moody. But with Thompson a late scratch with soreness in his lower back, an opening was created.
Moody dove in and delivered. He came off the bench and played 26 minutes, the most time he has spent on the floor since Dec. 21, when he played 31 minutes while the Warriors were being blown out by the Nets in Brooklyn.Moreover, the second-year guard from Arkansas made good with his playing time, scoring 13 points, shooting 5-of-7 from the field, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, while also snagging five rebounds. He was plus-four for his efforts.
