Isn’t it basically Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals? Think he only took one shot against the Clippers in 2014.

It was a classic BDL, one the gods awarded with a wtf 3 from Curry on GSW next posession.
This game feels like its going to be a one or two possessions all the way through. Game sevens rule, especially if it involves teams you don't root for regularly.
Agree. I like Sacto’s chances based on how Klay is playing. But just because he has started cold doesn’t mean he can’t go like 4-6 from 3 in the 2nd half or whatever
I just hope for the sake of Kings fans that the scales don’t get tipped in the second half. This is fun basketball right now.

I think @dhellers was saying the average number of non-shooting fouls converted to award FTs, in whatever portion of the quarter, above the average for when a team reaches that threshold, is probably pretty low. Most defensive fouls are shooting fouls as it is, and offensive fouls don't award FTs even if you're in the bonus.
Steph Curry is keeping the Warriors in this game. The Warriors' 2nd and 3rd leading scorers, Klay and Poole, are a combined 3/16 for 12 points. Somebody else is going to have to get going offensively if the Warriors are going to win.
Exactly. Must be some stats on this.
The point is that announcers always make a big deal out of it.... but if expected value is 2 points?
Am I crazy, or does Dray move into every pick the same way the Celtics kept getting called for, but of course, he doesn't.
looks like according to one analysis, it increases point per pissession by .07. http://www.82games.com/bonus.htm
Note: can't tell from skimming what year this analysis was done; maybe I missed it.
If Klay gets going here, it's gonna be tough for Sacramento to keep up. He was missing wide open shots all over the place in the first half.
The refs have come out calling this third quarter very tight both ways. This has slowed the pace down, which favors the Warriors as it gives them more rest.
DARKO thinks Steph and Klay have both gracefully avoided father time (I'd argue even more impressive for Klay given the injuries).
The problem for Klay is that he was never THAT good, so he decline plateau is now not particularly good.
80% of peak Steph is still crazy good.

Sure, but I feel like GS is defending Fox reasonably well. He should be doing better, but the Warriors are doing what they need to do against him. Klay missed a bunch of really good looks in the 1st half, some wide open.
GS coming hard at the boards at both ends; Kings need to match that....plus, of course, hit some shots.
