What a Game 2! Golden State delivered an epic comeback to turn a would-be blowout loss into a blowout win. The game soared OVER by 27.5 points as Golden State overcame a 19-point deficit to win, 126-117, on Friday night. Stephen Curry scored 32 points, but the Warriors were sparked by Kevon Looney, who added 21 points on 10-for-14 shooting while Luke Doncic poured in 42 points for Dallas. Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole all shot at least 50% from the field, and the Mavericks admittedly played poor defense, although the Warriors didn't make it easy with all of their offensive weapons. This series shifts to Dallas with the Mavs small favorites. The Warriors have established themselves as one of the top two teams in these playoffs, making it count when it counts. So far in 13 playoff games, they have won 10 times and are winning by an average of six points per game with their offense improving by 3.5 points per game vs. the regular season. They are 14-5 this season following back-to-back covers as a favorite and 78-56 ATS in that situation in the Steve Kerr era. The OVER is 13-5 in the past 18 meetings, including 8-1 OVER at Dallas. Also, the Mavericks are 11-4 OVER versus teams with winning records and 7-3 OVER after allowing at least 125 points in their previous game. The Warriors are 10-4 OVER as road underdogs, and they have gone OVER in five of their last six road games. Play the Warriors and the OVER.
