That was their lowest scoring half all season. So, you picked a bad time to start.

Here comes the glaze, now that the game is blown open by 20 points.

Mostly defense. And catching teams off-guard on offense. They scored a lot in transition (playoff opponents are more locked in to take this away) and they offensive rebounded with 2 bigs (doesn’t work against GSW because you can’t play 2 drop bigs against Curry).

Being down 20 points is not a crazy deficit in the modern game, but it is when it took you 2.5 quarters to score 40 points.

Gsw easily has the best duo in the playoffs with Jimmy in playoff Jimmy mode.
