Warriors thump Cavaliers in rematch
With 8 seconds left in the game, the camera focused on Green standing at the foulline, getting ready for his second free throw. Oakland: Golden State Warriors out scored on Friday the Cleveland Cavaliers 89-83, in a repeat of last year’s final.

And yet, one foolhardy Golden State Warriors fan took on that burden in the Warriors’ clash against James’ Cleveland Cavaliers. “It was an ugly game but we made the right adjustments and we came out with a win”. “We just show our versatility and try to win different ways”. Both teams shot poorly – Golden State at 41 percent, Cleveland at 31.6, including an atrocious 5 for 30 from three-point range – and the entire affair had a disjointed feel to it, to the point where the normally raucous crowd inside Oracle Arena seemed to grow bored as the game dragged on. A few missed James free throws later, the Warriors walked away with their 28th win despite scoring less than 100 points for just the second time this season. “Having the record (start) is great but we want to do a lot more”.

I wasn’t used to that. “He was focused more on what he is hired for here, which is helping to score or assist and not going into other things”.

Green, who led his team with 22 points and 15 rebounds and was its co-leader in assists with seven, virtually canceled out the numbers produced by Cavaliers superstar forward LeBron James, who finished the game with 25 points, nine rebounds and just two assists.

Israeli sources claimed that the young man took out a knife in his possession and tried to stab an Israeli policeman. Palestinian security sources identified the woman as Mahdiyah Hammad, a 38-year-old originally from Silwad.

First things first, it’s tough to exact revenge on a team that you beat in the previous NBA Finals. “LeBron is one of the best players in the world, one of the most dominating forces there has ever been in our game, and we have guys that like that challenge”. However Stephen Curry and his team showed they are strong defensively as well, ending the Cavaliers’ six game winning streak.

Perhaps Love was referring to the other regular season meeting between these teams next month in Cleveland, but a rematch of last year’s Finals next June wouldn’t disappoint either.

Anthony Davis led the Pelicans with 29 points and 15 rebounds.

But James responded with a pair of dunks and a blocked shot on Thompson before Love’s tip-in made it 81-77 with just over 2 minutes to play.

So far this season, Love is averaging 17.5 points per game with 10.6 rebounds per contest, per Fear The Sword.

Warriors center Andrew Bogut, who also played for Jackson, was more pointed in saying he didn’t appreciate what his former coach said. “To keep them to the 80s, they never really got in a flow where they could really attack us”.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (27-1): Golden State’s players are not singling out the matchup, either, and continue to roll through their schedule.

“He gets up for these kinds of games”, Curry said of Green.

A week after saying coach Fred Hoiberg was being too soft and laid-back on the Bulls, Butler helped end a three-game losing streak.

It works mostly against smaller guards, when he can use his great post game. Cleveland as a whole shot an underwhelming 32 percent from the field. The Cavs have lacked an energetic equivalent to match the emotionals that the Warriors have in their most fiery player.
