LJ Cryer and Chance McMillian Shine from Deep

LJ Cryer contributed 16 points, converting four of his 12 attempts while draining four three‑pointers. Cryer’s perimeter fire matched the output of teammate Chance McMillian, who also hit four 3‑s from the bench and finished with 14 points. Together, they gave Golden State a reliable outside threat throughout the game.
