That play is why it’s important to get in the paint and be threatening. Curry made AD come to him, which opened up the pass. It only works if they are attacking with intention – 11:37 PM

Warriors up 70-59 at half. They’ve made 11 3s. A ton of high screen action involving Anthony Davis, even inverted it and had Curry screen him. Extra Draymond Green energy. He took two charges on Davis, a swing call in this series. Andrew Wiggins: 16 loud points. – 11:12 PM

Six different Warriors made a 3 in that first quarter: Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Gary Payton II, Moses Moody. Moody made two. The Lakers only made one. But it’s still a tight game. Warriors up 32-28. They had five bad turnovers. – 10:37 PM
