Keys to the Game:
•Don't Let Them Streak
As soon as the Warriors go on a hot streak, the game is essentially over. Hold your ground, make them take tough shots, especially from outside. Don't get discouraged by a couple back to back three pointers.
•Offense
Get your offense going quick and often. Move the ball well and make most of your shots. Go up on the Warriors the same way the Jazz did and don't look back.
