Those bigger Splash Bros waves? Call it a Durant-less desperation

OAKLAND — It hasn’t been a matter of strategy but desperation that prompted the Splash Brothers to make more waves the past two games.

Since Kevin Durant suffered a calf strain late in the third quarter of Game 5 vs. Houston, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have amped up their production by increasing their aggressiveness.

Curry averaged 34.5 points in the Game 6 series-clincher vs. the Rockets and Game 1 of the Western Conference finals vs. the Portland Trail Blazers. Klay Thompson scored an average of 26.5 points over that span, with Game 2 set for tonight at Oracle Arena.
