West Conf. Semis - Game 3: Golden State Warriors 100-119 New Orleans Pelicans - 5 Talking Points

#1 Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo were too much

Golden State Warriors v New Orleans Pelicans - Game Three

Anthony Davis in Game 3: - 33 points, 18 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists on 15-of-27 shooting

Rajon Rondo in Game 3: 4 points, 10 rebounds, 21 assists

Right since the Golden State Warriors began dominating the league (2014-15), a quite renowned weakness of theirs was been rebounding. They struggle against athletic and versatile bigs because they don't have anybody to guard him. Draymond Green is too small and their other big men are too slow.

Davis started this game slowly but eventually finished with a monster stat line. It's quite obvious that the Warriors' scouting report and schemes for each game begin with Davis and yet he erupted for a huge night.

This an ideal roster for Rondo. He has five possible shooters on the team - Mirotic, Solomon Hill, Clark, Jrue Holiday and E'Tawn Moore. What trumps all of his option is Davis running down the floor, virtually unguarded every time.

The 2008 NBA Champion wrecked havoc on the court, dishing out the ball to the right player at the right time, ending up with just 3 turnovers in 37 minutes. He also joined the likes of Magic Johnson and John Stockton to be the only three players to record multiple 20-assist games in Playoff history.
