GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS BEAT CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 132-113, LEAD NBA FINALS 2-0

Stephen Curry dribbled every which way and beat LeBron James to the rim in a move reminiscent of his recent MVP magic, and the Golden State Warriors grabbed a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals by downing the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-113 last night (Sunday, June 4, 2017) in coach Steve Kerr’s return to the sideline after a six-week absence.

Their leader and reigning NBA Coach of the Year back on the bench at last, Curry and Kevin Durant tag-teamed the Warriors within two victories of another championship.

Curry posted his first career playoff triple-double with 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds while Kevin Durant had another mind-boggling stat line with 33 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and three steal

Golden State improved to 14-0 this postseason to keep alive a chance of becoming the first group to go unbeaten all the way to a title.

James was equally spectacular with his own triple-double of 29 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds, but yet again didn’t get nearly enough help to keep up with Golden State’s depth despite Kevin Love’s 27 points and 19 from Kyrie Irving.

Klay Thompson emerged from a postseason-long shooting funk to score 22 points with four 3-pointers while playing more stellar defense and pulling down seven rebounds for the Warriors, who shot 18 for 43 from deep.

The best-of-seven series now shifts to Cleveland for two games, with Game 3 Wednesday.

Things certainly aren’t looking good for the Cavs but, in case you may have forgotten, the Warriors had a 3-1 lead in last year’s Finals before the Cavs came back to win.
