Leandro Barbosa keeps the ball away from the Rockets’ Pablo Prigioni. Barbosa, playing in the third conference finals of his career, contributed four points, three assists and a steal.
Leandro Barbosa has played in more playoff games (85) than any other Warrior and is the lone Golden State player who isn’t making his debut in a conference finals.
The Warriors’ reserve guard played in the Western Conference finals with Phoenix in 2006 and 2010, so it should come as no surprise that the 12th-year player understands how to make an impact on the big stage.
