Ezeli played in all of Golden State’s playoff games except one, mainly serving as a backup to starting center Andrew Bogut. The series against Cleveland was Ezeli’s NBA Finals debut, and he is just the fourth former Commodore to reach the Finals in the school's history.
In fact, a Commodore hadn’t reached the Finals for the past 15 years, since Will Perdue made it with the San Antonio Spurs during the 1998-99 season.
