San Francisco, Cleveland symphonies get into on Twitter

OAKLAND -- Sports rivalries can get fierce, especially when things erupt into violins.

The San Francisco Symphony and its Cleveland counterpart went at it on Twitter on Thursday night, trading shots at the same time as the Warriors and Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.As it turned out, puns were instrumental."Well, @CleveOrchestra, it only takes a minuet to get in treble when you play the powerhouse Warriors,'' came a typical exchange from San Francisco side."Hey, @SFSymphony ... We're BAAAAACH!!" #NBAFinals,'' came a retort from Cleveland.When the Warriors began to falter early in the third quarter, the San Francisco side sounded a bit of a sour note.
