Warriors’ Andrew Bogut makes his presence felt at rim

A year after totaling only two minutes, 46 seconds in the Warriors’ closing three NBA Finals games, center Andrew Bogut came into the 2016 championship series saying he wanted to find a way to stay on the court.

He’s found a couple.

Bogut aggresively protected the rim in the Warriors’ 110-77 Game 2 victory Sunday, three days after attacking the rim for 10 points in their Game 1 win.

The 7-footer had four blocked shots in Sunday’s opening 7:15, including a massive rejection of a Tristan Thompson dunk attempt midway through the first quarter.
