The Warriors now hold a 2-0 lead with the series set to head to Cleveland. The most demoralizing part about Sunday night, was that the Cavaliers hung around throughout the first half, before things just became too much and the Warriors ripped their hearts out. Rihanna has always rooted for National Basketball Association star LeBron James and this time she also cheered on the other players of the Cleveland Cavaliers team. He’s playing the best basketball of his life and it’s a shame that he’s going to have to take the fall for this if the Cavs can’t come back. As a young kid, we watched him grow up, and the spotlight hit him and he handled himself with grace. “That’s what he does”. Curry finished with 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Cleveland wins if it can bang the ball in the interior and outmuscle the Warriors in the paint, hopefully without Draymond Green kicking anyone in the nuts. This tactic isn’t entirely about Shumpert, who played so hard Sunday night that he needed IV’s after the game.

Kevin Love had 27 points and Irving 19 on 8-for-23 shooting for Cleveland, which committed just nine turnovers one game after having given away 20 in the opener.
Lebron James had a triple-double with 29 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds for the Cavs. And now that the Cavs find themselves down a game, the road to a repeat becomes that much more hard.
Klay Thompson added 22 points for the Warriors, with Curry saying the Warriors still have work to do to play their best.
Right now this Warriors team is defined as much by the fact that they blew a 3-1 series lead in last year’s NBA Finals as their title the season before.
Curry provided the coach more than a glimpse of his greatness from up close after Kerr had been watching games from the locker room while speaking to his players beforehand and at halftime. “‘. Maybe get a little teary-eyed”. Early Wednesday, reports surfaced that James’ Los Angeles home had been vandalized with a racial slur. I just wish Dr. (Martin Luther) King had gotten to meet (James) and see the kind of man he is. The Cavaliers gave them a run in the first half, but they just couldn’t keep up as the third quarter wore on. The Cavs were in the same spot a year ago, went down 3-1 then rallied for the title.
“The last couple weeks have been good in terms of running practice, film sessions, coaches meetings”, he said.
LeBron’s play in Game 2 could very well be lost in the shuffle of the Warriors win and the god-awful LeBron hot takes we all know are coming.
“Much more physical today than we were in Game One”. It was nearly unfair how easy Durant made everything look in Game 1.
It didn’t matter in the end. Then again, those Warriors didn’t have Kevin Durant.
“We love (Kerr’s) presence”.
“Tonight we’re honoring Muhammad Ali, the GOAT”, James said.

“!To have him back on the bench means a lot”, Kerr said. In the past, James has offered vocal support for Black Lives Matter protests, given money to impoverished black youth in his native Akron, Ohio, and placed the city of Cleveland on his back in an ultimately successful quest to bring that blue-collar city its first sports championship in half a century. Last year, the Cavaliers, down three games to one, rallied to beat the Warriors by sweeping the final three games. Thompson played in his 78th postseason game to pass Jeff Mullins for most in franchise history.
