Yes! Thank you Ant, Julius, Rudy, and Jaden! They all get game balls.

I give one to Mike too mostly due to his smart, tough defense. He needs to shoot better though.

Now 4-0 in official clutch time games (5-pt game or less with 5 minutes left) in the playoffs. The last three games against the Lakers and now this one tonight. What a turnaround from the regular season.

It doesn't have to be that way, and it could be a lot easier

To be fair many of the passes they have made out to the support cast have not been made. If they were hitting their shots, I think we'd be mostly happy

I thought Don Nelson was coaching us with all the 2 man offense we were running. But at the end of the day, just win baby. It's all that matters. We can look pretty in the next round.

Jaden was 4-7 and 3-4 from behind the stripe. I would have liked to see more of that.

Yeah, he can split a game ball with Naz, who also ran hot and cold. NAW and DDV can run extra laps though, sheesh.

I will say they are playing an elite defensive team. It’s ugly but don’t write them off as a potential contender

No question they are an elite defensive team. I thought we were clearly the better team coming into the series even with Curry, but I don't think so anymore...it would have been a close series. I guess I didn't appreciate what the addition of Butler did to their defense...Payton was always a terrific wing defender, but the defensive emergence of Hield and the curly headed Polish guy really makes them tough to score on. Nice to be up 2-1 on a team that plays D like that.

Ha, very true. Love both those guys though...watch NAW and DDV win the next two games for us.

I think DDV is trying to do too much when he's in there. Just take care of the ball, stay in front of your man, and be ready to catch and shoot.

Going to go out on a limb and say GSW shot their shot tonight. I think we win rather easily on Monday and then close them out at home.
