Warriors vs. Spurs updates & highlights from Game 3
Golden State leads the best-of-7 series, 2-0.
After two games in Oakland that weren’t particularly close, the Golden State Warriors try for a commanding 3-0 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night in Game 3 of their first-round NBA playoff series at AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Klay Thompson has been on fire in this series, averaging 29 points per game on 69.7 percent shooting, including 10-for-14 (.714) from three-point range. He scored 31 in Monday night’s 116-101 win at Oracle Arena.
Kevin Durant isn’t far behind Thompson in scoring, at 28 points per game, including 32 in Game 2. The duo has helped Golden State, the second seed in the Western Conference, to average wins of 18 points in this series even without Stephen Curry, who is out with a sprained left knee.
“No one can make up Steph’s contributions individually,” Thompson told the Associated Press on Monday. “That’s got to be done as a team and even then it’s hard with the way he can shoot the ball.”
LaMarcus Aldridge has led the way for the Spurs with 24 points and seven rebounds per game, but he is one of just three San Antonio players scoring in double digits in this series, along with Rudy Gay and Patty Mills.
San Antonio hopes to turn things around at home, where they were 33-8 during the regular season, the third-best home record in the NBA.
