Who needs to step up if Klay Thompson can't play in Game 2

OAKLAND -- It’s generally considered that Andre Iguodala is the Warriors’ most proficient perimeter defender, as evidenced by past success against LeBron James.

And there is little question that Klay Thompson is second in that regard, and that his value has spiked in the absence of Iguodala, who has missed the last five games, spanning two weeks.

Both are coping with lower leg injuries. Iguodala is listed as doubtful and Thompson as questionable by the Warriors for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Cleveland on Sunday. If neither is able to play, where does that leave the Warriors?
