"That is huge for us", Curry said, "to win the possession game against a team that loves to slow it down". "I think our defense to start the first quarter gave us a chance to settle in offensively and find our rhythm".
Hill enjoyed a healthy 2015-16 season with the Indiana Pacers, but his first year with the Jazz has been marred by a slew of injuries, including thumb and toe ailments along with a concussion. In Game 6, the Jazz had their worst three-point shooting outing of the postseason going just 7-of-26 (26.9 percent). Given that the Warriors won the game by 12 points, that margin certainly made a significant difference.
In Boston, Isaiah Thomas scored 53 points - the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history - to help Boston beat the Washington Wizards 129-119 in overtime to take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference second-round series. You get him on a defensive switch, feint hard to the left, back-up quickly, then blast past him as he whirls, twists, turns and essentially starts swatting at ghosts. The crucial adjustment they'll need to make is in transition, where the Warriors outscored them 29-6 - a number far too lopsided for sustainability and indicative of Utah's failure to put their stylistic stamp on the flow of the game. We tied the franchise record for seven turnovers in a playoff game. The Warriors were the first team to have five players with five or more assists in a playoff game since the Seattle SuperSonics did it against the Phoenix Suns in 1993.
Kevin Durant added 17 points on an uncharacteristically cold shooting night at 7 for 17 and had five rebounds and five assists. Green, at his best, with the multitude of unsolvable problems he presents for the opposition, can perform the most vital, toughest task required of a contender: forcing the opponent to play on his terms. With better wing defenders on the court than they faced in round one against the Clippers, guys like Hayward and Joe Johnson will struggle to generate the same quality of looks throughout the series. He is the player most capable of putting up a big scoring night for Utah.

Price: In terms of the price the OnePlus 3T is far cheaper in comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S8 at Rs 29,999. That said, we'd still take this information with a pinch of salt as nothing is official yet.
The Warriors cut off Utah's offense at various times, including holding Gordon Hayward & Co. scoreless for the first 4:12 of the game, and you got the sense that the Warriors could do that several more times in this series.
"If you have those moments where you're not urgent enough", Snyder said, "they just punish you for it".
"The Jazz said Wednesday that they will sell navy blue T-shirts with "#Nightlife" written over a basketball logo in the team's colors. There's more there than that. Golden State is at full strength with its rotation with Shaun Livingston and Matt Barnes back from injuries.
"We want to get Rudy out the paint and defend pin downs as much as possible", Curry said. But there's little doubt the lineup of Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, David West, Klay Thompson and Ian Clark that generally opens the second and fourth quarters has jelled into a very effective alternative task force, with Clark emerging as the final piece to a puzzle the coaching staff has been trying to piece together all year with that unit. "We thought both halves that group was really good for us".
