"We're fooling ourselves."

Guard Monta Ellis sprained his right ankle in the final minutes of the Warriors' 124-97 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He limped off the court with 5:38 left in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors down 24 points. After the game, he was on crutches, his right foot trapped in a boot.
