The Golden State Warriors did what they came to do in Toronto — they stole one game. Of course, this series draw came about with a little help from the Toronto Raptors, who froze in the third quarter and got caught in the Warriors’ third quarter avalanche.
Game 2 showcased both teams, and also both coaches’ acumen. The Raptors and Warriors each came out with adjustments that affected the game in their favour. Steve Kerr used a brilliant third quarter defensive assignment adjustment to push the Raptors out of their comfort zone. Meanwhile, Nick Nurse closed with a box-and-1 defense that nearly got the Raptors the win.
