The first half of Game 2 of the NBA Finals was nothing if not fast-paced and exciting. In a high-scoring first half, the Golden State Warriors cling to a 67-64 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As a bonus for the Warriors following a Game 1 win, they got head coach Steve Kerr back. He's missed most of the playoffs as he deals with complications from a back injury.

The Cavs' bench has been much better, led by Kyle Korver's and Iman Shumpert's six. The Warriors' 12 turnovers, after only four in Game 1, have helped keep the Cavs in the game. Curry has six of those.
