The Golden State Warriors public relations staff informed reporters at 9:55 a.m. Sunday morning at Oracle Arena that we should get into the pre-game interview room real early because some of us would not be able to get in if we didn’t.

Why? Because there were at least 100 more credential requests for Game 4 than there were for Game 3 on the heels of the Donald Sterling fiasco, where the Clippers owner allegedly was caught on a 9-plus-minute audio feed making racist remarks about African-Americans.
