Saturday night’s Game Three of the Golden State Warriors-Portland Trail Blazers series was an epic one, with the Blazers leading 67-54 at the half and extending that lead to 16 later, but the Warriors storming back to win 119-113 and take a 3-0 lead. They did so without head coach Steve Kerr, who missed the game thanks to illness, and without forward Kevin Durant, who’s still recovering from a calf injury. But the best part is that the story of this game’s outcome can be told through the expressions of a pair of fans wearing extensive face paint. Here’s a look at them near the end of the game:
And some of the shots of the fans in paint with Twitter commentary:

We do have to wonder about the story here. Are they together? Did they just wind up sitting near each other? Is this all the first act of a Hallmark movie? Who knows. In any case, these fans and their paint certainly gave Twitter some entertainment.
