Warriors Improve to 2-0
The Warriors beat the Washington Capitols, 68-65, at the Arena. The Capitols were ice cold from the floor early on and the Warriors started the game with a 16-2 run. The Caps found their footing after that, but the Warriors were able to keep them at bay until early in the fourth, sporting a 19-point lead. At that point, Caps forward Bones McKinney got hot and led his team on a 16-point run to close the game to within three. The Warriors only just managed to hold them off from there and scoot away with the win.
