steph with great hands early to disrupt fox
fox proceeds to go to his strong side to the left where dray was. if anything, you could question the play and whether harrison should have been there and if they needed to flatten it out.
even so, fox could have continued to drive straight to the basket and tried to challenge steph 1v1
steph ends the play with a good contest on the shooter
 
Thats not nit picking at all. Free throws decide close games. Gotta capitalize
Kings showed a lot of resilience against the Champs but GS shows why they are the champs. They made winning plays when it mattered. A few plays that stick out to me are as follows.

1. Sabonis getting stripped when it was him against green with the 5 on 4.

2. Fox throwing the ball out of bounds when they were down by 1.

3. Not having their best screen man in Sabonis set a screen for Fox on that last play.
 
The original point was that teams should not be attacking Steph in the waning moments because he will make the defensive play and get the stop. Visual evidence shows that is a lie.

y’all pick the weirdest hills to die on in the name of slander. fox ain’t score. kings lost. the end.
 
The Warriors should have shut the lid when they got that steal and had an easy breakaway on the other side. They let Monk steal it and throw it to Davion for the cherry pick 2 and it kept the game open. That’s the sort of stuff that you don’t nitpick but you just got to be better than that in those scenarios. That’s the stuff the team has to internalize and realize the extra dribbles when it’s transition isn’t bad vs the home run pass especially in a tight end of game scenario.

Also steph da gawd on defense. Played Fox so well then pushed him to the help side and then contested the three on the switch out. Amazing.
