The Golden State Warriors are up 2-0 on the Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals, and each player has played a huge part in each win. Let’s see how each player contributed to these two Warrior wins.

Andrew Bogut: He has had a great series so far. In Game 1, he had 10 points, unusually high, as he does not score much every game. In Game 2, he set the tone early, having 4 blocks, and ending the game with 5.

Draymond Green: Draymond, who seems to be the frontrunner for Finals MVP so far, has had one of the best series in his career. In Game 1, he had 16 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. Then, In Game 2, he had a team-high 28 points, practically winning the game for the Warriors.

Harrison Barnes: Barnes played a huge part in Game 1, having 7 points early in the game. He ended with 13, and in Game 2, he only had 5 points, but added 5 rebounds to the Warriors rebound total.

Klay Thompson: In Game 1, Klay only had 9 points, 4 for 12 from the field. This was not a great game for him, as he is used to having 20+. He still provided the dagger in Game 1, ending any chances of a comeback for the Cavs. In Game 2, he had 17 points, and shot 50% from three. Although he has not had the best scoring games, he has played great defense on Kyrie Irving, who has been struggling in this series due to the great defense of Klay. Kyrie Irving has been trying to go to Isolation plays, but Klay’s quickness and height prevent Irving scoring, who is 4 for 27 from iso plays in the Finals.

Stephen Curry: In Game 1, Curry only had 11 points, but still ended the game with a dagger stepback three. In Game 2, Curry got in foul trouble throughout the game, but still ended with 18 points. Many expected Curry to be Finals MVP, but if he wants those honors, he must play much better than he did in Game 1 and Game 2.

Andre Iguodala: Iguodala has played fantastic defense on LeBron James, as well as helping on the offensive end. In Game 1, he had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, a fantastic all around game. In Game 2, he worked more on the defensive end, holding LeBron to 19 points, and adding 7 to his own team’s score.

Festus Ezeli: Off the bench, Ezeli has been the energy spark. He played ten minutes each game, and had 2 points in Game 1 and 6 points in Game 2. In Game 2, he began the big Warriors run that led to a 15 point lead with a putback dunk. This got the Warriors energized and got them playing much better.

Shaun Livingston: Livingston won the Warriors Game 1, as he scored a team-high 20 points. His mid-range shot was unguardable from the Cavaliers, as Livingston used his height to get over his shorter opponents. This was crucial, as Curry and Klay were both having off-nights. In Game 2, he did not have near the impact he had in Game 1, as he only had seven points in 24 minutes.

Leandro Barbosa: In Game 1, Barbosa did not miss a shot, as he went 5 for 5, with 11 points. He continued this streak in Game 2, hitting his first five shots, finishing with ten points. Barbosa has been great this series, as the Cavs are so focused on getting the ball out of Curry and Klay’s hands, they tend to leave players like Barbosa wide open.

Ian Clark: In Game 1, Clark played two minutes but did not score. In Game 2, when the game was out of hand for the Cavs, he put it 7 minutes, adding 7 points to the Warriors’ big win.

“Mo” Speights: Speights only had 3 points in his two minutes of playing time, but if the Warriors are in need of a great jumpshooter and a decent defender, he is available.

Brandon Rush: Rush has not been featured in this series a lot. He is still yet to score a point, but has only played 8 minutes.

Anderson Varejao: Varejao did not play in Game 2. He has not had a big impact in this series so far, as in Game 1, he did not score in his 3 minutes of playing time.
