On Steph Curry giving the Warriors a 'lift' in more ways than one -- including, but not limited to, the manner through which he was able to lift Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs defense toward uncomfortable spots (link to article in reply)

Steph vs. Wemby, it doesn't get any better than this

Really baffled at why there continue to be helpoffs against Wemby when Draymond is guarding him in single coverage. No need!

Spurs try to keep Kornet away from the ballscreen action for Steph by having him guard GP2 but it doesn't matter right now who the Spurs switch onto Steph

Simple concept on this SLOB, using Steph on the gut action to create a driving lane for Jimmy, draws the foul

Warriors at the half @ SAS
ORTG: 97.9
DRTG: 91.8
Defensive battle with both teams leaning on their stars to create offense. Spurs have turned it over on an astounding 28.6% of their offensive possessions but feels like the Dubs didn't take full advantage.

Horford has been exceptional so far in PnR and helpside defense.
His block leads to a Will Richard three over Wemby in the secondary break.

Dubs draw up a very effective ATO where Steph immediately shoots the ball after winning the jump ball

Horford in drop coverage, plays it well including getting over Kornet's Gortat to get in front of Castle and block his shot.

Dubs having to constantly move the ball and personnel to get a clean look at the rim. Draymond's drive is enough to lure Wemby away just enough to clear the basket for Richard's cut.

This opening set from the Spurs was really well drawn up. Running Wemby off of elevator doors up top as a decoy for Fox's drive to the rim, which is all clear due to the Dubs' defense having to lift up for the elevator action.

This finish by Jimmy over Wemby whew. Smart of him to initiate contact and bump Wemby, even so it took every bit of his finishing craft to get that one past him.
