The Warriors just came back from a 20-point halftime deficit to beat the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. It was mainly led by the Warriors' dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, who both piled in 34 points and 40 points respectively.
However, during Game 1 what was obviously different was the playing time of Andre Iguodala who only logged 10 minutes, scoring the lone basket he attempted in the game. There was a photo taken during the game with the entire bench cheering during the 2nd half comeback except for…Iguodala:

This adds further insight into the extent of an injury that has been a voice of concern from interim head coach Mike Brown:
Warriors PR says "left knee soreness" for Andre Iguodala. Mike Brown said he "looked a little hobbled" in first half so sat him for stretch

With the extended period of rest between Game 2 (Tuesday) and Game 3 (Saturday), the Warriors may look to follow a similar strategy on Tuesday before the Game 3 showdown in San Antonio.
