After plenty of non-competitive NBA playoff games, Game 1 of the NBA Finals is shaping up to be a great matchup. The Golden State Warriors lead the Cleveland Cavaliers 60-52 after the first half of Game 1 and it was full of impressive highlight plays. LeBron James and Kevin Durant led the way for their teams, but they certainly weren't alone in putting up big numbers.
Durant has 23 points, six assists and four rebounds in a strong first half effort.

Stephen Curry has also played well. He has 12 points, six assists and four rebounds. He's pulled defenders away from Durant in transition, leading to easy dunks.

No other player in the game has reached double-figures. The highlight of the half was Andre Iguodala hitting a buzzer-beating 3 before the end of the first quarter.
