Last season’s playoff results: Warriors defeated Cavaliers in five games to win the 2017 NBA Finals. But most of the TV talking heads who get paid to analyze such things believed an energized home crowd and the power of LeBron James would lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a victory that would inject more intrigue to the series.

In the fourth quarter, Curry erupted for 16 of his game-high 33 points and was a ideal 5-of-5 from beyond the arc in the eight minutes he played.
The Cavs began the second quarter with an 21-9 run, James scoring eight points and Love netting the final eight for Cleveland to produce their biggest lead at 50-37. “We’ve just got to come out, stick to our game plan, keep playing hard and we’ll be fine”. ‘It’s typical of him, ‘ James said of Trump.
“I’m pretty sure the way we handled things a year ago, (we will) kinda stay consistent with that”, Curry said when asked whether or not the Warriors would attend the White House.
Curry squatted low to admire his shot as it went in at one point and galloped back in joy after he hit two deep threes late in the first half. Golden State will hope to get Andre Iguodala back for that game, and if they do, the Cavaliers will have a serious uphill battle on their hands.
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said the team understands the series will be a short one if they can not win in Cleveland. “I agree with LeBron. His one-on-one ability really saved them again tonight”.
Here’s you can watch Warriors vs. Cavs Game 2. “But Friday morning when I wake up, I’ll be locked in and ready for Game 4”. Smith was only 2-7 when James try to set him up to score.
“You mean to tell me that the most valuable player is only ever from the winning team?” The previous 13 teams to do it went on to win the series. He was 2-2 in four trips to the NBA Finals with Miami.
James defended Curry after Trump blamed him for the disinvitation, tweeting: “U bum”.
But the Cavaliers, facing Golden State in the finals for the fourth year in a row, are only 4-4 against the Warriors at home in all finals. “This is the last team in the world you want to relax against”. ‘But I think more importantly we shouldn’t, as Americans and especially the people in Philadelphia shouldn’t let that news take away from what that unbelievable team did and accomplished. “So, it’s tough, but it’s all part of the competition, which I love and which I continue to lace them up [for] every night”.
