Something we know about Joc Pederson: Being from the Bay Area, he really, really likes the Golden State Warriors. Something we know about Pederson's teammate, Adrian Gonzalez: Whether messing with Yasiel Puig or fearlessly fighting mascots, he's never met shenanigans he couldn't get behind. On Saturday night, with the Warriors locked in a tight battle against the Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, these competing interests collided.
