2018 NBA Playoffs Round 1: Golden State Warriors Vs San Antonio Spurs Game 3, Live Scores & Updates

Well, other than a few minor injury scares today, the Warriors pretty much coasted to a Game 3 WIN. In the process taking a 3-0 series lead, which pretty puts their one foot in the next round as no team in NBA history as made it back from 0-3 down.

At the end of the day, even on their best day, the Spurs are simply not good enough from a talent standpoint. They have attempted multiple times to play hard and clinical but have simply failed to clinch any game.

As I, Yash Matange, say goodbye, I call you to join us again on Sunday as we cover the Golden State Warriors on their quest to repeat as World Champions. Game 4 tips-off at 3:30 PM ET on Sunday/ 1 AM IST on Monday (23rd April)

The @warriors take a 3-0 series lead with the 110-97 W over @spurs in Game 3!
