It is already halftime by the time I got this up and Kevin Love has 20 and 11, but the Warriors have a 4 point lead. The Warriors are single digit points away from their full game scoring total against the Hawks.

So how about some keys to the second half:

  • REBOUND.  Already -10 on the rebound front.  They gotta grab a few more boards and stop giving up so many offensive rebounds.  19 total rebounds versus 14 Minnesota Offensive rebounds at the half.
  • Only 7 Warriors have gotten into the game so far versus 11 T-Wolves.  Will the W’s have any gas left in the 4th Quarter.
  • David Lee is having a decent game.  Can he actually have a good game in a win or only when the game is all but over?

The Warriors got a much needed win last night thanks to the T-wolves which handed the Warriors their last win. So thanks Minnesota. But in all honesty the Warriors should beat Minnesota every time they play and either Monta or Curry is on the court. The Monta-Curry (Williams last night) duo is just so much better than Minnesota’s backcourt. If you are starting Luke Ridnour you are not a very good team. This is still shocking reminder that Minnesota took two point guards in the 2009 draft and have nothing to show for it.

Admunson was a force off the bench and sported an eye-popping +22. But if you watched the game last night you did not need to see that stat to know he was one of the major reasons they Warriors were able to pull away late. And pull away late on the back end of the B2B even if it was at home. This smelled like a trap game so it was great to see them pull it off.

Props obviously have to go to Monta for scoring 30+ points and playing all 48 minutes. Reggie Williams had another good game, including a monster heart stopping dunk. I swear I think he is going to come up short and brick those high flying dunks every time.

David Lee had another double-double 10-11, but was a pathetic -13. I am not sure I believe he is all the way back to 100% yet. At least let’s hope that is the reason otherwise this is going to be a long half a decade paying his salary. But props to him and the rest of the big men for holding Love and Beasley in check.
