Warriors Answer Back (for Now): Poole Finally Joins the Party, Draymond Gets Tough and Shoots Less, Steph Stellar, Gary Payton II Returns, But Klay Still M.I.A., Blow Out the Celtics | Finals, 1-1 | Oakland Warriors Podcast (Ep. 250)

Well that was tense for a while, wasn't it? The Golden State Warriors were able to hold on to their double-digit lead this time and won Game 2 of the NBA Finals defeating the Boston Celtics 107-88 to tie the series at 1-1 headed back to Boston. With a slowish start filled with missed layups and some dazed remnant of Game 1, the W's eventually were able to learn from some of their mistakes and blow out the Celts. Specifically, he discusses Stephen Curry's continued determination, Draymond Green's trash-talking intimidation, Andrew Wiggins embracing the moment, Jordan Poole finally (hopefully?) joining the series, Gary Payton II's much needed return, Kevon Looney making the easy buckets, Klay Thompson's continued struggles, the W's defensive adjustments, and the return of the focus they need to try to take homecourt advantage back. But the biggest question after this game is can the W's win a war of attrition against these Celtics IF it comes down to it?
