The Golden State Warriors are sitting comfortably after stealing Game 1 against the Cavaliers in the first game of the NBA Finals. One would think the Cavaliers are really disappointed after letting Game 1 slip between their fingers. George Hill had a chance to help give the Cavaliers a one point lead with less then 5 seconds left in regulation. Even after Hill misses his free throw, the Cavaliers got a second chance after J.R. Smith rebounds the miss and fails to make a scoring attempt as time expires. Game 2 was Sunday night at Golden State and the Cavaliers seemed to gotten over their Game 1 lost by keeping the game some what close for the first 3 quarters. Then came the 4th quarter and the rest is history. What happen? Steph Curry happen! Curry went off raining threes from deep to bury the Cavaliers 122-103. Steph had a game high 33 points as the Cavaliers couldn't contain him from beyond the arc. The Cavaliers put multiple defenders on Curry (Hill, Smith, Lance Jr., etc) but it didn't work as Cleveland are in a 0-2 hole against the Warriors. Curry set an NBA Finals' record by hitting 9 three pointers in an Finals' game. Lebron scored a team high 29 points in the loss. Kevin Love had a solid 22 points but it wasn't enough. I believe the Cavaliers are going to need to make some changes in their game plan. J.R Smith became a none factor only scoring 5 points for the entire game. He has to makes some shots if the Cavaliers are going to win. Maybe Cleveland can consider playing Rodney Hood more as the series progress. Nevertheless, congrats to the Warriors on their Game 2 win as Game 3 is Wednesday in Cleveland. Can the Cavaliers turn the series around at home? (Click the photo above for highlights!)
