Kings close it out in style keyed by a 10-2 run in the last couple minutes and take a 2-0 series lead on the Warriors. Draymond Green gets himself ejected late in Q4 when he purposely steps on Sabonis after Sabonis held onto Green's ankle after falling onto the ground during a rebound battle.

NBA should suspend him.

There are a lot of UK players in these playoff team lineups.

Maxey with a huge game last night.

Westbrook's block on Book was impressive, but then he tosses it off him before he gets out of bounds.  Not the highlight reel dunk, but the most important play of the game in my opinion.

That was about as Westbrooking of a game as you will find. Dude unconsciously goes 3-19 from the field, but works his tail off securing boards, made a couple clutch FTs, and the defensive play you note here to secure the victory.

Heard the stat that in every series of a Warriors championship run, they took an away game. Expect them to take Game 2. 

This is now the first time Steph has been down 0-2 in a series.

The Warriors went 11-30 on the road, yet many have expected them to flip the switch come playoff time. That's not who they are. Counter to this, the Kings went 25-16 on the road, tied for the second best road record in the league.

The Kings are a bad matchup for the Warriors. They are doing a Warriors on the Warriors.

He got a one game ban.  I think this series is over.

Maxey huge in Game 2 and Game 3 for the 76ers.

I don't know why it bothers me but "shoots a middie" is painful on my ears.

Warriors survive a Chris Weber type gaffe at the end by Steph.  Sheesh.

That was rough. Steph also hurt his team by not running down the clock more giving the Kings more time for their final attempt.

No kidding.  Could have run it down to 5 seconds and a miss would have been difficult there to even get a shot off at the other end.  Got lucky, no question.  Not a normal brainfart for him.

I've really enjoyed the Kings/Warriors series.

Goodness gracious, Jimmy Butler.

D. Fox with a fractured index finger on his shooting hand (or so reported) may doom he Kings.
