the game. How about a postcard from the Bay Area for you on a Monday night game, one of the Western Conference Finals coming to you live from Oakland and Steph Curry, the MVP unanimous at that. Sixty to forty seven is the halftime lead for Golden State, one of just two three pointers hit by Curry in the first half. But that's BBB. Oh, boy, Simon. BBD. Where's the family? That's my guys, man. Ricky Bell, Michael Beathers. I remember him about Ronnie. Ricky, my second was poison. They bring back some great memories. Oh, my goodness. It's driving me out of my single bearing. No, it's okay. You guys are so proud. Welcome, everybody. Welcome, everybody. It's getting out of my head. The AT&T Watt is pulling his poison. I'm not gonna express half done report, Ernie Johnson, Shaq, Kenny the Jett, Charles Barkley. Man, you talk about, you can't leave anybody. Either of those two guys open Clay Thompson in the first half was sensational. Clay was sensational, but Ernie, the one thing I'm gonna say is, scoring is easy for both teams. But can you score at the end of quarters? End of quarters is how this is gonna be won. And that's why I thought the Golden State Warriors would have the advantage. All of these shots are doing the regular thing. But once it got down to three minutes or less in every quarter, that's when your concentration has to pick up. And that's where I think Golden State has the advantage, Juck. It's to me, it's just the last three minutes of every quarter. To me, that's what decides NBA basketball games. Well, to me, before the game, you asked me to two most important stats. Not just this game, but I've always faced it. I thought a stat that the team that has the least amount of turnovers and rebounded wins like 77% of the time. Oklahoma City has turned the ball over 10 times, and they've been out rebounded. If they turn the ball over, get out rebound. They got no chance to win in this series. And got out rebounded 25-23. Ernie talked about it. That's all the two stats you got to worry about. The 10 turnovers leading to 15 Golden State points in the first half. Durant had four of those turnovers. Westbrook had three. Me and time we talk about Clay and we talk about Steph Curry, the others for Golden State in the first half, Juck. You know, I think Kenny will agree with me. One, two punch. We'll get you there. The others will take you over the top. We've seen it. We've seen it time in and time out. These guys are ready to play very confident right there. Andrew Boocken. Get in it. Up right here. Clay times right here. You can take that shot. You can take that shot, but you know what? And as I said earlier, the other has to well as to moment and step up and be ready to hit the shot. I got four reasons because I'll just step up to be a big shot Bob. Be sure. Rick Fox, guys like that. But look, these guys are here playing hard. They're relishing the moment right there. I'm both with the great pass. And there, there's others that's getting his crowd very excited. And then you got Steph, 19, Clay 14. They're doing their job. But if the other just continue to play well, this team will be hard to be in this building. And Westbrook had to step up. I love Westbrook. I'm going to find Superstar, but one for eight is not going to get it done. Three points, eight assists and one for eight shooting for Russell Westbrook. How do you explain it though that I mean the turnovers just came fast and furious for Oklahoma City. Was that was that golden state defense? Was that carelessness with the ball for the Thunder? Well, it's always a combination of both. They're so athletic everywhere. I mean, you look, when you put Iga Dollar, Dre Mann out there, Harrison Barnes, there's not a lot of room for error. And if you don't make a perfect pass, you don't obviously don't have a chance. But listen, Oklahoma City, they're careless with the ball. We talk about it all the time. Normally you don't see it until the last couple of minutes or quarters when that's when they blew the most leads in the NBA throughout the reckless season. But now they are making those mistakes. When you, you have to up your level. Every chance you around you go into play out, your plan against better teams, Ernie. And Russell and Kevin, they've just got to do a better job. They got seven out of ten turnovers. Those two guys got to do a better job. Golden State scores 60 in the first half. They lead it by 13 after 24 minutes in game one of the Western Conference Finals. The American Express Half-Time Report continues here in Oakland right after this. Welcome to the American Express Half-Time Report. Live from the Western Conference Finals. American Express, the official credit card of the NBA. After hearing Shaq singing, maybe I don't want to watch the Half-Time Show after all. I'm gonna tell you. That's cool too. Hey, he's up on my giddum giddum. He said coach to Neil. He said he needs a coach, can you cut that out? You gotta go get him. We'll leave him. Go get him. Go get him. Go get him. The reason why your voice is a little sore, Shaq, why? Because his mother gives great swing unless it's... He can come back. I'm just playing coach real. Hey, hey man. Play Thompson leads everybody with 19. That's so pretty. And in the American Express teammates, graphic, the top two scoring duos in the NBA. Korean Thompson number one, Westbrook and Durant number two. It's been all the Golden State side in the first half. They lead it 60 to 47.
