Outside of Butler and Kuminga, the rest of the team is 5-20. GS needs points created from running the offense.

Whether they win this game or not.. the Warriors know how to slow the Wolves and score on the Wolves.. They may take it game by game to stretch it to 7 for more Curry rest

GS is bringing a 2nd defender to cut off most of his driving lanes to the basket. Edwards hasn't been quick to pass out of the situation to find more open 3s for his teammates.

Draymond is essentially playing goalie not guarding anyone waiting for ant to drive at him. When post was in ant was getting layups at will.

Why? He breaks the offense; this just happens to be a situation where they need it. I'm usually completely against Kuminga playing but understand how he's needed now.

Then the offense has to change ro accommodate Kuminga from here on out. Kerr has to adjust and so does Curry.

Start to the 2nd half is going to be very important. Can't get in another big hole... As I say that the wolves open with a wide open 3.

The offense generated a 3, that's a good start.

That has to be a Gobert's foul, or this is a fixed game after review.

That was clearly Gobert fouling there, but I still doubt they will overturn

Kuminga has always had high upside, glad to see he's getting the meaningful playoff minutes to showcase what he can be capable of.

Good non-challenge by Kerr lol. Daaaaaaaamn that Podz 3 was like 95% of the way down.

Of course he makes the floater after the foul but no shot :lol:

How funny is it seeing Kerr buy minutes without Kuminga on the floor? My how the tables have turned...
