Klay Thompson Does A Damn Good Steph Curry Impersonation
Game 2 goes to Golden State, on the backs of an unconscious Klay Thompson and some crucial makes from Steph Curry. If not for a once-in-a-decade San Antonio comeback, they would be up 2-0.

When watching baseball, if you lose track of a live fly ball off the bat, the easiest way to locate it is usually to watch the outfielder's reaction.
