Of course, the key was that the Warriors were on fire this game, seizing their opportunity; they hit 14 of their 25 three-point attempts from the outside, shooting a terrifying 56%.
Even Green, sticking his butt out, launched and hit 5 of 8 threes to score 24 points, completely cutting Randolph loose like a kite.
After two games, the series was tied 1-1, and the Warriors showed their improved strength.
However, the interesting part is that the 1-1 tie in this series was not an anomaly.
The Spurs and Mavericks, Rockets and Lakers, Thunders and Blazers all had series that were surprisingly tied at 1-1 after the first two games.
There's no such thing as a weak team in The West, and this year that saying was given the most direct evidence.
After the first two games, the teams were heading to Oakland.
Hansen arrived in Oakland half a day earlier than the team.
Ever since he last visited the zoo with Ajalee, their contact became more frequent.
