Kevon Looney being in foul trouble during Game 2 hurt the Warriors mightily. They can’t afford it in Game 3 without Draymond Green.
on Thursday night after being suspension for his Game 2 ejection, their frontcourt is even thinner than usual. Looney is invaluable for the Warriors, and his need to be on the floor is about to jump leaps and bounds.
How much the Warriors are hurt when Looney is having foul issues was evident from the start last game. . The 7-foot-1 left-hander had loads of trouble while defended by Looney and Green to begin the first round. He finished the game with only 12 points, going 5-of-17 from the field, his worst shooting night of the season.
Rebounding also has been a huge factor thus far. The Warriors have been out-rebounded by nine, but the Kings have 11 more offensive rebounds than the Warriors and have scored 14 more second-chance points than them. Draymond's absence will be felt there, too. "All five guys got to go to the glass, all five guys got to box out. We got to play with force and take care of the small things. I think we know that. We rebound for spurts, and sometimes we have lapses. We got to put that together for all 48."Steve Kerr called the series opener in Sacramento an"incredibly physical game" on Saturday night. Game 2 felt even more physical, too. That's something Looney looks forward to continuing.
