Points 120 & 121

Just watched Baron Davis throw down with authority on AK 47 -- a SportsCenter dunk and well worth the subsequent "T" A facial AND a spanking, and now an ovation as well as Game Three heads into garbage time. God I love to watch these Warriors! Can't wait to watch Game Four....

Game Two's overtime finish was another one for the ages. Derek Fisher's dramatic third quarter arrival, and his key defensive play, three missed free throws by the Warriors which let the game slip into OT, and then Harper's dagger from the corner...reportedly the first time he'd shot a basketball in four days. A nice touch of pathos and camaradrie between former teammates as well, as the Warriors greeted Fisher after the game, apparently to express their concern about his daughter. Dee Brown's dramatic injury, which forced him to leave the game after one of his own teammates fell on him, was almost overshadowed by Fisher's heroics. But the Jazz sure missed their rookie guard tonight, as once again the Warrior's backcourt basically overwhelmed the Utah ballhandlers.

The Warriors also seem to have a better handle on the boards as well, although the Jazz still outrebounded them over all. But Carlos Boozer was held to half of what he's been pulling down of late, while my Latvian import Andris Biedrins grabbed 13...basically all those boards Boozer DIDN'T get on the offensive end! Let's hope he can keep that up for Game Four as well, and then take it with him on the road back to Salt Lake.
