Warriors' Leandro Barbosa: Plays key bench role in Game 6 loss

Barbosa collected 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Thursday's 115-101 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 6 of the Finals.

Analysis:

With Andre Iguodala struggling throughout with a tight back-- and heading to the locker room for treatment early in the second half before returning -- Barbosa saw some extra run and was highly productive with the minutes. As he's done on numerous occasions in the past, the 33-year-old displayed a nice shooting touch from all over the floor, posting his third double-digit scoring effort of the series and fourth of the postseason. Although Iguodala was able to return and finish the contest Thursday, he looked physically compromised, meaning Barbosa could well play another pivotal role off the bench in Sunday's Game 7.
