Golden State won the first game easily despite a poor 3-point shooting night.
On the offensive end, the Warriors’ current main seven rotations players all had double-digit points, with Steph Curry leading the way with 21 points and both Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins adding 19.
But the Warriors also struggled from the outside, going 10-for-29 from 3-point range on the night, mainly relying on an elite night from the mid-range and attacking at the basket to pull away in the 25-point win. Which team gets hot from deep in Game 2? How will Dallas counter Golden State’s defense on Dončić? And what can the Mavericks do defensively to counter the myriad of options the Warriors present on offense?
Follow along as reporters Madeline Kenney and Shayna Rubin and columnist Dieter Kurtenbach break down those questions and more in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.
