Well TOR really withstood the Curry onslaught in the 3Q.   Kawhi is gassed though.  But they also kept Green, Gasol and Lowry at 3 fouls after having the at 3 at halftime.  As long as they can hold their own with Kawhi on the bench and there isn't a huge run on fouls, TOR couldn't ask for a better result.  All 5 starters in double digits, and now none with more than 3 fouls (although everyone but Vanvleet has 3 out of the starters lol).

They probably are going to spell Kawhi & Gasol now, this is where TOR has to manage the next 2-4 minutes (2 minimum, 4 ideal) to get Kawhi & Gasol ready for the stretch.   TOR can't lose this one, they're not going to get a better road result after 3Q than what we've seen tonight.

How the hell did the refs miss that? Curry was clearly fouled that led to a Green three. Five point swing there. 

Refs have missed basically everything tonight. Honestly a disgrace both ways and I’m not one to dump on refs.

Klay will be back for game 4 for sure, KD may be finally good enough to go

There's only one off day between game 3 and 4 and he still hasn't practiced yet. I think he doesn't play til game 5 at least (if not game 6/7/or at all).

Kawhi & Gasol on the bench, this is the window for GS, TOR is looking for 3+ minutes of rest, but Curry's so dangerous and we know what the Dubs can do.  

HUGE block by TOR x 2 on 2 layups to stem the tide a bit, saves a 9-0 run to be only a 5-0 surge.  Still need to score to stem the tide.

And Ibaka responds with a 3 & cleanup layup to counter Curry's 3 FT's.  Man the punch/counter punches in the 2H are nuts.

Kevin Durant (strained right calf) is expected to play 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 during a light practice day on Thursday.
Durant won't suit up for Game 3 but it sounds like Game 4 on Friday is a possibility. Golden State isn't planning a full practice, but as long as KD doesn't suffer any setbacks there's a chance he could be cleared to play. He's been limited to individual workouts in his rehab thus far, however, and we'll have a clearer sense of his status after Thursday's scrimmaging.

Yeah I saw that article, but it does only say it's a possibility. They might be more likely to though since they're gonna be down 2-1.
