Aaron Gordon isn't a top scorer. But he lit up GSW for 50 points in today's game.
Warriors had different defenders on Gordon but none stayed on him, especially at the 3 point line. Including Draymond.
Kuminga was burned several times, but I'll give him credit this time, the effort was there. In many cases, he was off-ball screened to give Gordon daylight.
I just find it odd that Gordon goes 7-7 from 3 in the 1st half and they still don't adjust and guard him better. You can come into the game with a strategy of "we'll let anyone on this team try to beat us except Jokic". But when another player is hot, you might have to adapt.
Warriors won anyway, but I don't think this will work against Boston, OKC etc.
