Warriors and Davis create buzz at home, slam Jazz

Baron Davis had the place in an uproar in Game 3 of the Western playoff series after an empathetic, energetic-jolted dunk over Utah's Andrei Kirilenko in a 125-105 finale. Check out the dunk here. From the get-go the Warriors had the game in the palm of their hand. It was pretty much a must win for GS. The small lineup wreaked havoc on the visitors, who felt pressure all night and couldn't match Golden State's speed and intensity. They broke over 90 points by the end of the 3rd quarter...wow!

Much of the attention Friday night was on Baron Davis who made acrobatic play after play at the basket. The star point guard clearly had fun despite picking up a technical and finished with 32 points, 9 assists, 6 steals, and 4 rebounds. He gave his team breathing move, helping position the series at 2-1. Winning 3 games will a daunting challenge, although I know this GS team is more than capable.

Jason Richardson complimented his teammate, scoring 25 points and providing a major boost late. Al Harrington also played well with 15 points while coming up with big defensive plays at crucial moments. The series is only starting to heat up and I can't wait for BD to explode for over 40 points and dazzle the crowd once again. The series may go to 7 games. My money is on GS!
