I think Steve Kerr said in his press conference that their effective field goal percentage at halftime was like 90-something percent, and it was the highest that he'd ever seen. So their shot making was terrific.

I thought that just watching the game live, that from the jump almost, in the first couple minutes of the game where Draymond Green commits a foul, Steph commits a foul, Jimmy Butler commits a foul, all in the first three-ish minutes, two and a half minutes, Defensively, they didn't have it.
