End of 3rd Quarter
As we head into the final fourth quarter at Oakland’s Oracle Arena, the Warriors appear to be leading, 88-86, with Kawhi Leonard’s tip-in coming just after time expired in the third.
The Warriors closed the quarter without Klay Thompson, who was having his left knee evaluated, which allowed Toronto to break out its box-and-one defense on Stephen Curry once again. Andre Iguodala broke that defense once, hitting a 3-pointer that gave him 20 for the game, but the strategy did appear to be limiting the Warriors’ ability to move the ball.
