Warriors' Harrison Barnes: Coming off bench Monday

Barnes will come off the bench during Monday's Game 7 against the Thunder, Rusty Simmons of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Coach Steve Kerr had been mulling a starting lineup change all series, and finally decided to pull the trigger in the deciding game. Barnes will hit the bench in favor of Andre Iguodala, who will likely dominate the minutes at small forward while matching up with the Thunder's Kevin Durant. Barnes is averaging just 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.2 assists across 30.5 minutes through the first six games of the series.
