Finding an answer to Davis will be one of Golden State's most important tasks after he dominated on both ends of the floor in Game 1. Here's what to expect for Game 2.
Dubs lost in Game 1 against the Lakers Tuesday night but fans traveled to the Bay Area from all over the globe to watch Warriors play.The Los Angeles Lakers expected a furious, final push by Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and the defending NBA champions. Golden State can score in bunches in literally no time at all.
They realize how challenging it was to win Game 7 at Sacramento on Sunday then come right back for Game 1 of the next round two days later. Curry is counting on a more focused performance. "Great rim protector and his shot was going," Green said. "I felt like he made every one of those mid-rangers he took. You've got to live with some of those, but I think we can do a better job individually and collectively taking some of those away."
Still, he noted, defensively against a superstar roster with so many shooters: "We got to be better."- NEED TO KNOW: Kevon Looney grabbed a career-high 23 rebounds in Game 1 and is the first player with four 20-plus rebound games in a postseason since Dwight Howard in 2009.
