Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author states that Golden State is no longer a title contender but then proceeds to describe how they played their best basketball of the season and were able to keep up with Boston for most of the game. This contradicts themselves by stating that Golden State was not a title contender while also describing them as playing well enough to challenge Boston. Secondly, when discussing Brown's first-quarter performance, it is stated that he hit 5 out of 9 from long range and poured in 19 points which is impressive but then the author states that this was the first time an opponent had ever deployed such a coverage against him which implies that no one else has tried to do so before. This contradicts themselves again by stating something they have not been able to verify or confirm.
