The spread for the game is Golden State by 9.5 points.

Superstar forward Kevin Durant committed nine turnovers in Game 2 and attempted only eight field goals but was a different player in Game 3, coming out aggressive and finishing with 38 points on 14-of-23 shooting despite sitting out the entire fourth quarter. “I think coach (Steve) Kerr came up with some plays for me at the start of the game,” Durant told reporters. “I think doing that kind of set the tone. Just putting pressure on the defense through post-ups, through dribble handoffs. I think that was something we talked about this morning, just consciously with the way they play, just coming off a lot of Andrew Bogut screens, sitting in the post. If they double, guys are moving. We were just more patient tonight, to sum it up.” Golden State shot 54.8 percent from the floor and totaled 35 assists in Game 3.

The Los Angeles starting backcourt trio of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Landry Shamet and Patrick Beverley combined to go 4-of-17 from the floor in Game 3, but Rivers was much more concerned about forward Danilo Gallinari’s 2-of-13 effort. “We have to get Gal going,” Rivers told reporters. “Like, we’ve got to get Gal playing better, bottom line. On both ends, too. He’s got to rebound better; he’s got to be more assertive offensively. We have to put him in positions to do that, and I have every confidence that he will because that’s what he’s done all year.” Gallinari is shooting 29.7 percent from the floor in the series and went 0-of-8 from beyond the arc in Game 3.

Warriors PG Stephen Curry is 17-of-29 from 3-point range in the series.
