Golden State Warriors welcome Mike Trout, Angels to practice

The Golden State Warriors go for historic regular season win No. 73 on Wednesday night. But before Stephen Curry and Co. have their chance to surpass Michael Jordan and the 95-96 Chicago Bulls for the record for most wins in a season, they hosted a few members of the Los Angeles Angels at practice.

Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Joe Smith and Cliff Pennington were on hand at the Warriors’ practice facility Tuesday, as they were in the Bay Area for a series against the Oakland Athletics. Hey, it’s a heck of a lot cheaper to watch practice than it would be to buy tickets for Wednesday night’s game.

Trout and Curry exchanged some pleasantries to start, a meeting of minds between MVPs, but it wasn’t all fun and games.

Trout beat Golden State All-Star Draymond Green in a game of PIG and in a stunning upset, Smith took down Curry. Michael Lee of the Vertical was on the scene to document it all:

Draymond on losing to Mike Trout in PIG: “I’m not very good at shooting games. I can shoot IN the game but I ain’t good at shooting games.”

After a 1-4 start, the Angels have won three straight to climb back up to .500. Maybe their victories over the Warriors will spur them toward even greater heights.
