Analysis:

Head coach Steve Kerr opted to bring Iguodala off the bench last Sunday to ease him into the lineup in the first game after he suffered a broken nose. However, it may have been a revelatory break. Iguodala was masterful as a point-forward on the second unit, dishing out eight assists without a turnover. The talk now is of Iguodala filling a similar role while Shaun Livingston (toe) remains out.
