NBA Finals 2019: 3 Talking points from Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors - Game 2

#2 Golden State's classic second-half surge has become a norm at this point

Double-digit leads at halftime don't mean anything.

The Golden State Warriors cannot be slept upon, especially in the third quarter and beyond when they come alive to play the best basketball of the game. This game was no different. Golden State went on a blazing 18-0 run to start the third and the contest was pretty much sealed shut at that point in time.

"Third quarter we didn't play well enough. We missed too many shots," Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said. "They got out in transition and got a little confidence going. We lost the game there."

After being behind by as far as 12 points in the first half, GSW dug deep to conjure one of their finest third quarter rallies ever. This has been a trademark for the Warriors for far too long now and we can attribute their long-lasting Finals success to such emphatic runs without a second thought.

"I think that when you get to this stage, our DNA shows up," Curry said.

After struggling to find his shooting rhythm initially, Curry ended up with a respectable total of 23 points while Klay led the team with 25 of his own.
