I think we're going to take the series in 7. Pels couldn't handle the magnitude of the situation for the first three quarters. But settled in when there was nothing left to lose. They won't be nervous Monday night. In fact I sensed a little bit of panic from the Warriors when they called a timeout late in the 4th following an official review.

After the game, Steph Curry mentioned that they'll need to improve on their free throws because they'll need those points later in the playoffs. They're looking down the road, and it'll be the end of the road for them.

just have to make their shots
beating them there was always going to be a long shot but they can without question beat them here

I agree, you could definitely see the toughness from Q Pon, Cole, and Cunningham who have all been here before. Meanwhile Davis struggled early and so did Holiday a little bit but you could also attribute that to rust from his injury.

I hope Monty learned a lot from this game because there are a lot of matchup she can play around with to give us an advantage. But we really just have to get back to so,e basic fundamentals that screwed us especially early in the game, protect the rim and take care of the basketball.

It certainly wasn't a bad way to lose game 1. I expected us to come out flat but our response was great. Outside of losing Tyreke I think we gained some confidence going forward
