Jordan Bell gets his minutes as well. Looks like Zaza will be the only one with a DNP.

Looks like we will have 6:40 minutes of garbage, not a great start to the 2018 NBA Playoffs. Hopefully, the next few games will be better - Washington Wizards @ Toronto Raptors.

Klay Thompson and Draymond Green sit down. Mostly done for the game!

Lead now up to 28! 103-75

Nick Young makes his first bucket. A 3!

TIMEOUT Spurs!

11-of-13 shooting for 27 points! 🔥🔥🔥

Yet another one from Thompson!

Swaggy P enters the game!

Game-high 25 points on 10-12 shooting for the sole Splash Brother on the floor.

RED-HOT Thomspon!

KLAY answers that T with a 3!

Technical foul on Klay Thompson, unusual for him to get the team's first T.

Spurs' offensive main man just hasn't shown up, much like he didn't last season in the Conference Finals. 14 points, 2 rebounds on 5-of-12 shooting!

Even the shooting. Warriors knocking down 55.9% of their attempts, Spurs at 36.7%.

Warriors murdering the Spurs on the glass, a 37-23 advantage.

KD caps off the third quarter with a jumper to balloon the lead to 23. Warriors got this one in the bag!

DRAYMOND gets a 3!

#DubNation basketball!

Draymond sets up Klay beyond the arc!

A Kevon Looney block leads to Klay Thompson 3. Warriors' lead now back up to 19 with 3:25 to go in the third quarter.

DEFENSE TO OFFENSE!

18 for Durant, knocks down an insane fade-away, makes it look easy.

Note: Jordan Bell, Nick Young and Zaza Pachulia haven't played a minute yet. If this game blows open, they might play else they headed for DNP's.

Warriors lead by 18 points and are still diving on the floor for the ball! CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL!

HUSTLE! HUSTLE! HUSTLE!

Both teams trade turnovers as Spurs trail by 18 halfway through the third quarter.

Klay Thompson is heating up...

16 PTS on 7-8 shooting for the @warriors SG! 🔥🔥🔥#DubNation #NBAonABC pic.twitter.com/A3yYLGk9Go

Four fouls now on McGee with his last one on Gay, whose been the lone offensive spark for the Spurs.

SEASON-HIGH 15 points for McGee, last two from the free-throw line.

Klay Thompson has quietly had a red-hot game. 7-of-8 shooting for a game-high 16 points!

BEAUTIFUL TIP-IN by MCGEE! He has 13 points!

Before that 3, the Spurs had gone on a 9-2 run but way too many fouls. Four, if I'm not wrong. Three of them on Spurs' young gun Murray.

Thompson knocks down a 3 and Pop wants a TIMEOUT!

Gay knocks down another jumper. He has a quick four points, here in under two minutes.

Spurs go 5-0 in the first minute of the third quarter. Gay with a jumper in that.

Rudy Gay starts the second half ahead of Kyle Anderson for the Spurs.

So let's not jump the gun.

A lot has been said about the Warriors waiting for the Playoffs and now here it is, and look at their defense. Well, they aren't exactly going up against a well-oiled machine. It's a severely handicapped Spurs' offense.

The @warriors shoot an efficient 59% from the field to take a 16 point lead into halftime at Oracle! #DubNation pic.twitter.com/kQtSp2NLxW
