SAN FRANCISCO — Oakland High star point guard Money Williams went to his first Warriors game when he was 10 years old. He remembers being in awe when Stephen Curry hit a half-court shot. He had a bird’s eye view of the game, sitting all the way in the nose bleeds because that’s all his family could afford, he said. Thinking back to that fond memory makes Tuesday all the more wild in Williams’ eyes. Seven years later, Williams found himself at Chase Center alongside his high school teammates, who were invited by the Warriors to celebrate the Wildcats making history earlier this month when they won the program’s first state championship. “It feels good,” a beaming Williams said.
