Big night for Kevon Looney and the Warriors Friday night, taking a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals against the dallasmavs. Hear what 'Loon' had to say about the moment ChaseCenter fans started chanting 'M-V-P'... for him!
Championship DNA. That’s all there is to it.
“I thought we were so scattered in the first half. Dallas just came out and punched us,” said head coach Steve Kerr, referencing the Mavericks’ jaw-dropping 15 three-pointers before halftime. “We were scattered. We just needed to get poised and get the game under control. When the ball started to move, we started to get much better shots. Once we got settled down, it was an excellent offensive night for us.
Up until then, it was either Golden State or Dallas dominating the Western Conference Finals, with the other team passively taking a beating. The Warriors cruised in Game 1. And the Mavericks dominated the first half of Game 2. But somewhere in that second stanza, things changed. It got chippy and started feeling like a proper postseason scrum. Draymond Green getting T’d up. Players contesting every shot, and crying about every foul.
At one point in the third quarter, Looney, who finished with 21 points and 12 boards, stepped to the line to shoot two free throws. The crowd starting chanting “M-V-P! M-V-P!” I honestly never thought I’d hear that in this lifetime. I don’t know about MVP, but I’d vote for him for president.
