San Antonio Spurs: 3 takeaways from Game 2 vs. Warriors
Gregg Popovich made a lineup change of his own in Game 2 replacing Kyle Anderson with Rudy Gay in the starting five.
Of course, although Aldridge performed a bit more notably on the stat sheet, Durant ultimately earned the upper hand, as he led Golden State to a 116-101 win, and thus, a 2-0 cushion over the Spurs with the series set to head to San Antonio, Texas. The coach's surprising shout was met with plenty of enthusiasm by Warriors fans.
The San Antonio Spurs fell into an 0-2 hole in their first-round National Basketball Association playoff series with the Golden State Warriors on Monday night and their prospects of making it a series without star Kawhi Leonard appear slim. He finished 31 points and 5 assists, most of which came in the second half.
After trailing by as many as eight points in the first half, the Warriors were up just 82-77 after Spurs center Pau Gasol dropped in a pair of free throws 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. The Spurs have looked weak offensively and soft defensively in the first two games. They had a home record of 33-8, which will make it hard for the Warriors to take two games at the AT&T Center to complete the sweep. They shot [48.4] percent from 3.
The shoddy perimeter shooting muddied a 34-point night from LaMarcus Aldridge, who racked up 17 points in the first half alone. He hit a three in the corner and then he hit kind of a runner.

They call me every day, they ask me how am I doing, but we need to take a step at a time. "If I say more, people will hang me so I have to be careful what I say now".
Thompson poured in 24 points in the second half on 9-of-13 shooting, including 4-of-6 from deep.
Leonard has played just nine games this year after struggling with a quadriceps injury that has been the source of much friction with Spurs' team executives and medical staff.
It was a game of two halves for the Spurs who were hoping to even out the series last night.
As Curry remains out likely for the entire series nursing a sprained left knee, the Warriors used all the offensive power they had to take both home games in the best-of-seven series. This one ends up over the total.
