The Los Angeles Lakers stole Game 1 down the road, then the Golden State Warriors got their revenge a little with a stunning Game 2 win. Now the series is moving to Los Angeles for Saturday’s Game 3, and many questions remain. The Lakers need Anthony Davis to be the Game 1 version and the Warriors need more of Game 2 Draymond Green. What comes to fruition could tilt the series in this team’s favour.
JaMychal Green was a surprise starter in place of Kevon Looney on Thursday. Looney was still playing off the bench and his rebounding skills will be needed against the Lakers. And both teams seem to be wearing themselves down as the minutes pile up and games drag on. Whichever team can find their legs for longer stretches could have a distinct advantage.
