the guy they did not miss and want to see more of, festus ezequiel who was just -- festus is ezelli. sparking the warriors to three comeback win, festus ezeli, his first appear as in this series. it was a great one. >> each game i'm making a lot of progress. my teammates are helping me out a lot. draymond has been looking for me a lot. playing with him, he's -- playing with anybody on this team really, but everybody gets out there on defense so we cover a lot. we cover up for each other a lot so it's easy for me to get my rhythm back. so when the first half didn't go so well, we made the decision at halftime to give festus an opportunity. we knew that was going to happen at some point. we wanted to give festus his shot and he played great. >> just another example of how deep the warriors are. they bring him off the bench, spectacular. things are getting serious for the sharks. they want to take command of the series in nashville. they played their best hockey of the year but things are not going so well against the nashville predators who won game three to cut the sharks overall lead

and crediting festus ezeli, his fellow center.otation has worked, they would with anderson varejao, he wasn't that effective, marreese speights nondefective tonight so go to festus ezeli, he takes care of things. so i would have to say that as far as the blazers are concerned, this is a devastating loss to be in the lead almost the entire game, then get cut. we'll see what happens as the series shifts to portland. back to you. >> it does shift and weirdly enough they don't play again until saturday. maybe we'll send you up there. >>> back east, basically a foregone conclusion, lebron and cleveland will represent. if anyone could pull an upset, think about it, it is lebron's old buddy, dwyane wade. the miami heat off to a 1-0 lead against toronto. look at this, heat up three, 3.3 seconds left. toronto, kyle lowry, half-court at the buzzer to send it into overtime. that was just an incredible shot . dwyane wade is bummed as you look again, just a man he's. and he makes it. but in the overtime, again by three, 10 seconds left, demar

after the game, props to festus and the defense. >> festus was unbelievable when he came in.e. coach went with fees. he was ready to play. we could not be happen yep or proud of the former rookie. >> we have to rely on our defense. you know, any time you are down and try to make a comeback, has to start defensively, you have to make stops. i thought in our run in the fourth quarter, we had a lot of guys step up and make big shots and big plays but it was our defense that fueled everything. >> yeah, i have to agree with that because, when you look, look at daily men little ard and the first three quarters, he was phenomenal and they shot him down in the fourth. >> he is phenomenal. he is such a big star, should have been an all-star. you know, they scored 12 points in the second quarter. >> 12 points, we are not worried i was not worried when they were down 17. no, not with this team. >> not with this team. >> you us a expect them to win, always >> and i expect the sharks to win on the road. they didn't win last night on the road, first time in the playoffs. >> it's the mayoff

and look at festus ezeli up top, 12 points, five rebounds, he was great off the bench.fter an early lead, kevin durant who had 29, and steve kerr not happy. >> stay together. stay together! come on now. let's go. we're good. listen, we are trying to do the right thing. our intentions are great. we're driving and kicking. come on. driving and kicking. we're good. stay with it. >> draymond didn't look thrilled by that peptalk but anyway, 11-2 warrior run. andre a doctor, shot of the entire season. take a look at that again, wasn't even looking at the bucket. it goes in off the glass, he was fouled, it counts, sensational. where's update at halftime. third quarter, the blowout begins. steph curry takes over, the assist to andrew bogut. and he was looking much more active. then the patented or a flurry ensues. 17 in the quarter, 28 points, on that one, look at him, he knew it was in before it came close to the basket. 15 points for staff, in less than two minutes in the third. take a look at the shot, feeling very confident, five of eight from three. the warriors led by up

festus did not play at all in game one in the first half.uickness on the defense gave the blazers fits and then he was dunking. the warriors won 110-99. festus is going to be a free agent next year. >> try to stay in the moment. we're all like a band of brothers, so all that other stuff, the individual, selfish stuff, there's really no room for that on this team. we have one goal, and we've had it since we got back to training camp. it's fun. it's been a fun year so far. so we're trying to finish it out right. >> game three between the warriors and the blazers saturday night, 5:00 with a tipoff at 5:30. that's over on abc 7. followed by after the game, i'll be in studio with donnell foyle. and so we'll see if the warriors can go up 3-0. >>> lebron james and the cavs making history tonight against atlanta. the cavs knocked out a playoff record 18 threes in just the first half. they led 74-38 at halftime. third quarter, kyrie irvin with 21 in the game. and cavs end up with 25 threes, and rout the hawks, who were just watching most of the night
