Game 19: Golden State Warriors 109, Brooklyn Nets 102
Highlights: spin dunk, putback dunk, pump fake and pull-up, cherrypick dunk vs. fullcourt press
Game Score: 25.7
Box Score: 30 points (14-22 field goals, 2-4 free throws) , 15 rebounds (7 offensive), 2 assists (2 turnovers), 1 foul in 41 minutes (+16)
Story: Matched up with noted irritants, hustlers and rebounding specialists Kris Humphries (4 points, 4 rebounds) and Reggie Evans (2 points, 3 rebounds), Lee outproduced them combined. He notched 7 offensive rebounds, many of which were put back immediately for two points. He also stepped out to knock down a few jumpers against their reluctant (or non-existent) closeouts. When Brooklyn resorted to a desperation fullcourt press, Lee beat everyone up the floor for an uncontested dunk.
