Steph Curry shot 12 for 25 with six 3s while Andrew Wiggins added 20 points and seven rebounds for the Warriors, who never trailed and will now try to even the best-of-seven series in Game 4 on Sunday back on their home court at Chase Center.
Leading up to Game 3, Steve Kerr shared with Golden State’s players his favorite John Wooden quote of all time: "Be quick, but don’t hurry."
"We’re a team with a lot of pride, we know how to respond when our back’s against the wall, we always usually show up," Looney said. "I think Draymond knew that. Without him playing he knew how we were going to respond. He knew he could count on us to hold down the fort while he’s out. We’re excited to get him back next game."
Sabonis, who grabbed Green’s foot during the play in question, was booed at every chance. The big man underwent tests that revealed a bruised sternum but was able to practice Wednesday and cleared to play. He had 14 rebounds by halftime and 16 total to go with 15 points. But Golden State’s smothering interior defense led to some spectacular plays on offense — Looney handling the bulk of the load defending Sabonis.
"Sometimes as a rebounder you can get in a zone just how Steph and them 3-point shooters get in a zone," Looney said.
