I just had an epic battle with the Warriors on HOF, 12 minute quarters, using the Celtics. The game crashed in the 4th quarter, I was down by 3.
The keys to beating them, or atleast keeping it close, are attacking Curry and Pachulia. Curry cant seem to stay with combo moves, and his lack of strength makes it easier to get him on your side. I was able to use I.T OFTEN with a combo move (making curry lean one way), and than making a hard drive to the basket with him on my side and finishing. As far as Pachulia goes, He is not a shot blocker. The little half hooks and drop steps in the lane work so well against him. Its also about running a lot of pick n rolls and pick n pops. Even just having your big come up and brush up against Curry can give you a wide open jumper.
Defensively, I found that "No Threes" is not effective against them, I switched to it and they actually went on a run. That's because Durant/Thompson/Green do damage in the in between game.
