BetOnline Closed at 217 but they brought this number within a half point of the 211. 

Talk about some skilled oddsmaking!

Some books, like Pinnacle, pushed briefly by touching on the 211. Most books did not go below 212.

As for the spread, it's likely that a good chunk of the action at BetOnline came in between 5 pm ET and tip off where the line came in Golden State -1.  That would have resulted in a PUSH.  Anything that came in before that time was a winner for Warriors backers.
