Summary
We contrast the offensive philosophies so far in the series, with the Celtics focused heavily on mismatch hunting compared to the Warriors flexible read-and-react offense. We also discuss Curry's “bad” game, Rob Williams's impact and the narrative around Draymond Green's “poor” play in the series. With Cody Houdek @codyhoudek.
