Game 2: San Antonio Spurs 101-116 Golden State Warriors - 5 Talking Points

#1 KD & Klay too much for the Spurs

Klay & KD, both put up 30+ point games.

When your best player is out of action, you expect the next-best player to step-up and carry the team. The Warriors have three other All-Stars waiting to shine under the limelight.

Kevin Durant kept the team alive in the first half, scoring at relative ease, putting up 17 points while no other player had more than 10. When the Dubs exploded in the second half, it was led by the lone Splash Brother Klay Thompson.

Having only scored 7 points at halftime, Thompson scored 24 in the second half including 16 in the final quarter to ensure the team was never short on offense like in the first half. Again, it's not just putting up the points, he did at a ridiculous efficiency - 12-of-20 from the field and 5-of-8 from 3-point range.

Having seen both games, it's quite obvious both Thompson and KD haven't had perfect games but their sub-optimal outings together, combined with their team's supporting cast, is enough to overwhelm the Spurs.
