For the first time in five attempts, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (and in resounding fashion). Behind an aggressive Stephen Curry, Golden State jumped out to an early 7-nothing lead that expanded to 15 after one quarter. By the half, Golden State’s advantage had ballooned to an insurmountable 29 behind a barrage of 3-point bombs, Draymond Green’s triple-double effort, and 44 points from the bench.
Other than Draymond’s leveling of Lebron James on a Flagrant 1 foul in the second quarter, the blow-out victory was short on drama and suspense.
With the win, the Dubs are now 11-8 against the Cavs since the two teams started trading championships.
