Good morning. Let’s basketball.
Good morning. The Warriors just took over the NBA by coup d’etat.
That and more in Sunday’s NBA newsletter.
DOMINATION: The Warriors ran the Rockets right out of their own building, winning Game 3 by 35. Stephen Curry had 40 points on 19 FGAs. Not possible, you say? The rules of nature do not apply to Steph.
Curry was so good he was giving the Houston crowd the business. He also broke the record for most threes in a postseason; he did in Game 3 of the conference finals. He also boxed out Dwight Howard for a rebound.
Lil B still hasn’t officially cursed Harden for his alleged pot-stirring plagiarism, but he did renew his threat by noting the Houston lost by 35, which is also accursed Kevin Durant’s jersey number.
HAWKS AT CAVALIERS GAME 3, 8:30 P.M. ET, TNT, CLEVELAND LEADS 2-0
IT GETS WORSE: Kyle Korver is done for the season with a severe ankle sprain that may require surgery. You had a sense that Atlanta was done regardless -- the Cavs need just two wins with three more games at home and one in the ATL, where they just won two straight -- but there’s really no chance of mounting a comeback without KK.
PART OF THE REASON: Tristan Thompson has been excellent for Cleveland.
WHAT’S WEIRDER THAN WEIRD? On Friday we learned Jeff Van Gundy is a real candidate for the Pelicans job. On Saturday Woj reported that, uh, Scott Skiles is the frontrunner for the Magic job.
MOST IMPROVED SHOOTER: Kirk Goldsberry breaks down the shooting improvement of Harrison Barnes.
ANOTHER GREAT AMATEUR DUNK: There have been a number of these lately! The reason YouTube was invented, imho.
Happy Sunday. See you next time.
