Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge go toe-to-toe in NBA Playoffs

Updates with new lede.

With the loss, the Spurs have gone down 0-2 in the best-of-seven series.

Where: Oracle Arena, Oakland, Calif.

Sam Amick of USA TODAY, in his column Saturday, the same day the Spurs lost to the Warriors, 92-113, wrote that Leonard's absence from the team's playoff game as a sign he might get traded this summer.

"No one can make up Steph's contributions individually", said Thompson. "That's got to be done as a team and even then it's hard with the way he can shoot the ball".

He looks as fresh as he has all year after missing eight straight games with a broken right thumb last month. The Spurs keep it closer but the Warriors take a 3-0 advantage in the series with a win here. And the fact he has been absent from San Antonio for weeks and is not expected to sit on the bench for Game 3?

Of course, they could also figure out the salary structure in a potential deal that could allow them to still pursue both James and George, allowing the Lakers to form a "Big Three" of established All-Stars along with one or two of their current role players. He pounded the basketball down with two hands, frustrated, midway through the second quarter.

"It's tough", Aldridge said of the circumstances of this season.

"He's not always going to make a shot", Kerr said, "but he's always going to make a huge impact".

The Golden State Warriors know that they can't allow a veteran team like the Spurs to have any hope.

Golden State struggled in the opening half against San Antonio in Game 2 but was in complete control in the second half to earn their second double digit victory in as many games.

"He's a tough cover", Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge said after Game 2.

The Spurs declined to comment on any effect Popovich's comments have had on the team or its fan base, but others have noticed at least a minimal impact. This unit had not played one minute together during the regular season, yet produced strong play immediately, helping the team jump off to a 28-17 lead in the first quarter of Game one, setting the tone for the series.

Durant finished with 32 points, six rebounds and six assists, while Thompson had 31 points with five assists.

Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson handed San Antonio a painful shooting lesson as Golden State took a grip on their Western Conference playoff duel on Monday.

Spurs: Aldridge made all 12 of his free throws. Instead, we get Popovich and Tony Parker taking backhanded shots at Leonard and company.

Fresh off their second consecutive blowout win to open up the 2018 NBA Playoffs, the defending champion Golden State Warriors seem to be in good spirits.

In 2015, Kerr moved Iguodala into the starting lineup, and he became Finals MVP as the franchise captured its first championship in 40 years. "I was concerned with that sprained ankle". What transpired next was done behind closed doors and so we can only assume that Stephen Curry did what Curry usually does in these situations: Dribble drills, shooting drills, rinse and repeat. "We need him, but he told me he was doing OK". "I mean, any time you can take a few games off".
