THE Warriors have found all sorts of ways to win during their record-setting start to the season, but victory No. 22 definitely took a unique method.

    They achieved it by overcoming boredom.

    The Warriors battled fits of seeming disinterest that made Sunday’s 114-98 victory harder to come by than it probably should have been against the five-win Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center.

    “I felt like we played pretty close to perfect in the first quarter, and I feel like we had a letdown because of that,” Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said. “Mentally, I felt like we had a little bit of letdown in the second and third quarters, which, obviously, you don’t like to see.”

    After leading by 17 points in the first quarter, the Warriors started mindlessly tossing the ball around on offense and lackadaisically rotating on defense — just long enough to let the Nets sneak to three points down at halftime and then take a third-quarter lead.

    The Warriors (22-0) tied the 1969-70 New York Knicks for the league’s best-ever road start at 12-0 and got past the midway point of their two-week, seven-game road grind at 4-0. They have finished .500 or better on 14 of their past 18 road trips of at least three games.(SD-Agencies)
