Harrison Barnes is the Warriors' starting small forward, which means he has been tasked with guarding LeBron James in the NBA Finals — with plenty of help. After the Warriors' 108-100 Game 1 overtime victory against James' Cavaliers, Sporting News' Jimmy Spencer caught up with Barnes, who had a modest 11 points and six rebounds in 39 minutes but made a key 3-pointer in overtime.
