Team effort.
Lowry with 15 in the 1Q.  But just 5 in the 2nd half and a number of fall-down style turnovers.
Siakim had a big 1st half and terrific game.  including a big basket driving on Dray green to put Raps up 3 late.
Van Fred came up huge in the 4Q, making some tough shots.

Danny Green didn't score and had a terrible turnover that gave GS/Scurry a last chance.  But was a +7 in 18 mins.
Green's no-show meant TOR played with Lowry & FVV out there a ton.  And Klay exploited that a lot just shooting over the little guys.

Klay was great til he sprained his knee.
Dray was terrific.
Scurry was mediocre.
Iggy was terrific.
Boogie was up and down.
GSW a -18 with Quinn Cook out there.  i didn't notice that in real time, as GSW bench did allright (mostly Livingston and Boogie scoring).

I'd be interested in seeing the 2nd half rebounding numbers, as it seemed GSW boarded everything in the 1st half.  I thought the strong boardwork kept them in the game.  A few 2nd chances, and Raps were 1-and-done in the 1st half.

Raps largely played a slow-down style, with passes far out on the perimeter, and plays not really starting until single digits on the shot clock.  Seemed a dangerous strategy, but it worked, as they hit nearly 40% on 3's, while Siakim and FVV (and some Kawhi) created points out of not much late in the clock.

The Splash Guys went 16-16 on FT's; rest of Warriors 5-14.
Iggy just 1-5.

Leonard, Lowry and Siakim all went 1-2 when Raps were trying to come back in the 2nd half.  But the team shot nearly 80% on FT's.

Klay Thompson

Nobody is talking about it but Klay could be out all next season too.  The normal timeline is usually anywhere from nine months to one year for a torn ACL.

Klay a free agent as well as Kevin.

Derozan..yeah, not happy for sure.**

Pops, everybody's thinking he's somehow gotta be upset. I'm pretty sure he's wistful, but smiling.

He and the organization played a big part in Kawhi becoming what he's become. If you're a coach, there's gotta be some pride.

They knew damn well the situation they were dropping Kawhi into was ready-made for what happened. It was a gift.  If they'd wanted to they coulda shipped him to hell.

** and add in Dwayne Casey

My first thought when Klay went down in pain (and then on replay you see his knee torque oddly):
that GS was done for this year and next.

How can Golden State afford to keep both players - $67 million in salary - with neither contributing next year? (Or at least Klay not contributing until March and not 100% for the whole season)?

They get into this new wacky lottery and land their Duncan. Get back at it the next year. You can’t even really call it tanking.

More likely next year causes enough stress and acrimony that they break the band up. We shall see. Kerr & Curry & Green might keep it together.

I’m hoping KD rehabs on GS’s dime. Same for Thompson. Everybody gets to negotiate so this could also be part of the mess.

On the other coast I’m happy with RJ and wouldn’t mind scoring another pick if the price is right.

First time we lose a free agent to them while going head up?
