The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs have both played outstanding defense in the first half, which has made for a somewhat ugly game with an even 35-35 score at halftime.
On the plus side, the Warriors held the Spurs to just 28.6 percent shooting in the first half with some great team defense throughout.

Unfortunately, the Warriors only shot 35.1 percent from the field themselves, leading to a 35-point half.
Not the prettiest basketball, but you can appreciate the strategy at play between two of the best regular season teams ever.
For those of you that missed the Chicago Bulls's run of greatness in 1996, this score approximates the feeling. https://t.co/Dwv0PkdXZU

Stephen Curry went into halftime with a game-high 11 points, including a three in his 151st consecutive game. The Warriors will still have to find a way to get some offense from Klay Thompson, who is shooting just 2-for-8.
