Steph had 31 (10/23, 5/14); Klay 26 (9/21, 7/13). Each played a complete game: Steph had 8 boards and 7 assists; Klay 6 and 4. Draymond very good: 10 pts, 10 ‘bounds, 8 assists.

Kawhi 26 on 9/24, 2/7, 12 ‘bounds. Not great shooting by anybody.

It would not have been close had KD, reigning two-time Finals MVP not re-injured his calf in the 2Q. GS was up by as many as 12 that I saw.

These guys are playing a ton of minutes: Klay 42, Steph 41, Dray 41; Lowry 42, Kawhi 41. It is the Finals but GS has been wilting, outscored by five in the 4Q. No rest for the GS weary in game 6 with KD out again. Just a shame. This series might have been over had KD been able to play. Yeah, injuries are part of the game but losing Durant, then getting him back for 12 dominant minutes only to lose him again: Cruel, just cruel.
