The Golden State Warriors have a long-standing history of small-ball lineups. During the first championship run of their dynastic era, their small lineup was so lethal it was dubbed the "death lineup."

[{"selector":"#anim-f61c3ea5-c0e4-4dfc-a9bf-81d6365217c9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-50.46530306314252%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

It has gone through a few different renditions since then, but as the Warriors embark on their first playoff run in three years, it appears they have the newest version.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins played just five minutes together in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, but in those minutes,

And it was those five minutes that shifted the momentum to the Warriors going into halftime of their eventual 123-107 win on Saturday night.

"It's a scary sight when we really get going," Thompson said. "This is really only our first time really playing together."

But according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, it's not just his questions that prepared the third-year guard.

Their two play-in games last year gave Poole a taste of the pressure he'd face during their run this season.
