Following their blowout victory in Game 2 of their Western Conference Finals series against the San Antonio Spurs, and the uncertainty in the condition of Kawhi Leonard's ankle, the Golden State Warriors were heavily favored to win the next match.

The oddsmakers gave almost the same odds for them to win by at least 20 points, as for the Spurs winning on Saturday night. According to Bovada, the Dubs were +400 to cover a 20-point spread, while the home team on the night was a +350 to come out with a victory.

The Warriors got off to a slow start against a tough Spurs team playing undermanned but eventually rolled to a 120-108 victory to take a 3-0 series lead. They didn't cover the 20 points if bettors put money on that, so give the Spurs some credit for ensuring they weren't totally blown out and playing hard to the end.
