''When the shot goes up, you can't be watching, looking for the rebound,'' Golden State forward Draymond Green said.
The Thunder won the battle of the boards Teemu Selanne Jerseyby eight in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals and seized home-court advantage with a 108-102 win. Golden State bounced back in Game 2 and outrebounded Oklahoma City by nine in a 118-91 victory. The series shifts to Oklahoma City for Game 3 on Sunday.
Golden State's Game http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Teppo_Numminen_Jersey2 effort on the glass was a surprising development. The Warriors are a smaller team; the Thunder were the league's top rebounding team during the season.
The 3-point wizardry of Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson does provide some margin for error. But not all that much considering Oklahoma City was just behind the Warriors as the league's No. 2 scoring team this season.
Green, Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights need to mix it up http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Tobias_Enstrom_Jersey"underneath for Golden State. Otherwise, there will be fewer opportunities for the Warriors to shoot those 3s and more opportunities for the Thunder in transition.
The Warriors insist they'll be ready to take on Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, Serge Ibaka and the rest of the Thunder in Game 3.
They're ''always flying in there, trying to get the rebound,'' Matt Martin JerseyGreen said. ''So you've got to hit bodies.''
The Warriors went http://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Mike_Bossy_Jerseyall out on the offensive boards in Game 2, risking fast breaks by the Thunder. Golden State finished with 15 offensive rebounds and 15 second-chance points.
''I think they just got all the 50-50 balls on the offensive glass,'' Thunder forward Kevin Durant said. ''It kind of surprises when guys are running in there because we're so good in transition. But they were in there and able to get their hands on some basketballs, so you have to give them credit.''
Now that the Thunder have seen Golden State's approach, they need to respond.
''It's on us to make adjustments, boxing guys out and putting bodies on them and getting those rebounds,'' Durant said. ''As simple as that. So we can't have that next game.''
