THE RUB
- Golden State used their patented 2nd-half energy to take a 3-0 lead, well on their way to their 5th straight NBA Finals appearance.
- The Warriors went behind by as many as 18 points late in the 2nd quarter and went into 1/2 time down 66-53 before outscoring Portland 29-13 in the 3rd en route to a 110-99 win.
- Draymond placed the Warriors on his back in Game 3, scoring a postseason-high 20 points with 13 rebounds and 12 assists in his 3rd triple-double of the playoffs.
- Portland threw away a 15-point halftime lead in Game 2 and totaled just 33 points in the 2nd half of Game 3, with their offense lacking.
- One of the reasons for the lack of offense could lie with Lillard, who reportedly has been playing with separated ribs. This makes the Under 26.5 points for him value tonight.
- The Warriors to get out the broom tonight.
