The Good: Last night the Warriors rallied back from a 21 point deficit and led by 9 points with just a few minutes left.

The Bad: The Mavs finished the game on a 15-0 run.

The Ugly: How the Mavs are going to feel after Thursday night in Oakland.

That ref ejected Action Jackson for what now?
Hopefully that ref won't be reffing anymore playoff games this season.

• At last, an MVP-worthy effort [ESPN]: GSoM friend Henry Abbott wraps up the game the best:
• Henry Abbott (5/2/2007 at 1:00 AM): I watched and re-watched Baron's last foul. That was pretty lame. Jason Terry not getting tossed, and Stephen Jackson getting tossed … that was all wrong from how it looked on TV. You wish it hadn't happened that way. But this was a great game. The whole thing was on fire. A million highlights. It would be a shame to remember this game for the referees, because both teams had real chances to win. One thing that really shocked me: Golden State passed up good looks with the game on the line. Baron, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson -- they all did. Not like them at all.
