The NBA postseason has been a back and forth affair in the second round and after Wednesday's matchups all the series on both sides of the league are tied at 1-1, including the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State series, which saw another big game from a guard on the Warriors in the 100-91 win.
Klay Thompson was the star on Wednesday night for the Warriors, leading the team with 34 points and 14 rebounds, while his counterpart Stephen Curry followed up his 44 point performance with 22 points to help Golden State snap a 30 game losing streak in San Antonio. Tim Duncan had 23 points and Kawhi Leonard added 12 rebounds while Manu Ginobili led the team in assists. Thompson was tops in points and rebounds for the Warriors, who lost in double overtime in game one after having a 16 point lead erased.
The Warriors erased some bad history in San Antonio and now has the momentum heading into Game 3 as the series shifts back to California. The Warriors went just 19-22 on the road during the season, while the Spurs were 35-6 at home, but one Wednesday that was all out the window as the team was able to win the game. The Spurs rallied, but Golden State was able to hold them off this time around. Tony Parker had 20 points and after setting history after blowing the lead in Game 1, the Warriors locked down in Game 2 and didn't let it happen again.
The team had a 20 point lead in the third quarter, but by the time the end of the fourth rolled around, the score was 97-89 with under five minutes left. The Warriors now will host the next two games in front of their crazy crowd and the play of Thompson and Curry has put them in a position to defeat anybody.
The Miami Heat rebounded from their disappointing Game 1 defeat against the Bulls to win 115-78 over Chicago to tie up the series 1-1. Ray Allen led the team in scoring with 21 points, while LeBron James had nine assists and the Bulls had no answers as the team was outscored in every quarter, including in the third 30-15.
