After a predictably aggressive first half from Dallas, the Warriors launched yet another comeback win on Friday
SAN FRANCISCO -- You could see it coming before Game 2 even started. Shoot, you could see it coming before Game 1 even ended. The Dallas Mavericks were blown off the court in the first game of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday, and you knew they would come out on Friday against the Golden State Warriors with a renewed focus, a better shooting touch and a vengeful, dangerous Luka Doncic.
"I've seen it for my entire time in the NBA, player, executive, coach. Game 2 of a playoff series is always very different based on the outcome of Game 1," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before Game 2. "We have to maintain our edge tonight, and we've got to really come out and be ready for the force that they're undoubtedly going to bring."
Ready for the force, the Warriors were not.
