The Golden State Warriors are walking into Dallas to take on the Mavericks with a solid 2-0 lead. Dallas was 29-12 at home during the regular season (4th best in NBA) and has gone 5-1 in the post-season, so it’s no small advantage — especially for a Mavs team that has underperformed their expected shot quality in both of the first two games.

On the injury front, it wasn’t ever looking much like it would go any other way, but it’s comforting to see that Andrew Wiggins feels good enough after shootaround to be fully cleared for tonight’s game. After rolling his ankle late in the previous contest, there was some concern after Wiggins showed up on the earlier injury reports.

Andrew Wiggins went through shootaround this morning in Dallas. He is clear for Game 3, per Kerr.

Also, it sounds like rookie Moses Moody did indeed play his way into the rotation after some strong minutes late in game two after Damion Lee couldn’t find any traction on either end of the court. Lee only played about five minutes in the last game, so it’s not like there’s a huge hole to fill in Golden State’s suddenly tightened playoff rotation, but as with anything, more options are generally better.

Moses Moody said today that Draymond told him during Game 2 they'd probably need him to play. Asked about that, Moody's answer was part joke and part very true: "It means a lot. 'Cause I'm sure if they brought it up to put me in and Draymond said no, then it wouldn't happen."

That dunk was filthy.

I haven't seen a Dub hurt the rim like that since Latrell Sprewell.

Doncic facial could well be the highlight of his career.

I am not a kid anymore but I would totally buy this poster to put up somewhere.
