The Warriors' Small Ball Death Squad: ESPN analyst Antonio Davis on the NBA's most lethal lineup

In what has become Golden State Warriors lore, head coach Steve Kerr made the gutsy decision in the 2015 NBA Finals to swap Andrew Bogut for Andre Iguodala in the starting lineup.

Down two games to one against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Warriors' offense simply could not find consistent ways to punish the Cavs for double-teaming Steph Curry in the pick-and-roll. We all were a bit frightened with how the Warriors would fare with a lineup that had Harrison Barnes, at 6'8", as its tallest player, especially against the mountainous Timofey Mozgov and the ultra-athletic Tristan Thompson.
