Warriors 2-0 up after big win

Golden State had outscored the Spurs 58-33 in the final quarter and a half after Leonard exited with an ankle injury in game one on Sunday, and were ahead by an eerily similar 57-33 score with just under five minutes remaining before half time of Tuesday's second clash at Oracle Arena.

After 40 points in the opener, Steph Curry led the Warriors with 29 points on eight of 13 shooting in the rout.
