I turned it on 5 minutes ago. Holy shit. What a game!
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

The Warriors f***ed around all season and tonight they found out. :P

I think the warriors still win. They shot a ton of 3s and didn’t shoot particularly well. I am happy for Sacramento though. Hope they can keep winning

Great game, and huge win for Sacramento. This one was really fun to watch. Everybody shits on me here for being a part-time Warriors fan but I do want the Kings to win this series, or at least to beat up the Warriors a bit, because I'd rather not face the champs later in the playoffs.

The Warriors may hit some more threes, but Sabonis and Huerter are also not going to shoot 8-29 again.

The Kings took every hit the Warriors threw at them and came back victorious. They need to win game two as well.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Totally get it. Then you’d be really torn.

Maybe not, but I do think this might be a tough series for Sabonis. It’s gonna need to be a Fox/Monk show imo.

I feel like he’s gonna come back out in half 2 just fine. Which is crazy because he wouldn’t even move his arm when he came out. He just overreacts to everything.

Well, if Ja is going to be out for a few games, this series just tilted dramatically in the Lakers' direction.

Austin Reaves is just fun to watch. He's a nasty mofo. He and Rui Hachimura both played great today for LAL.

Can't help but notice that JJJ seems to have grown into a better player than Ayton on both ends of the floor. Hmm.

Yep, Ayton has regressed. JJJ is already an All-Star, something Ayton hasn't sniffed.
Go Suns!

JJJ had 5 rebounds today :?



Still the most frustrating part of his game.
