You know, if the Golden State Warriors can have themselves seven-point possessions on a regular basis, they’re going to be pretty tough to beat.
After all, just one can swing a game.
The Warriors have been lights out in the third quarters of these NBA Finals, and a 12-point halftime deficit was briefly erased after a wild sequence of events went Golden State’s way in the frame. With the Warriors down nine points, Stephen Curry hit a three with Al Horford coming in on the contest. Horford closed out underneath Curry. And though Curry had already earned the four-point play opportunity, a flagrant 1 for the closeout had the Warriors retaining possession.
