Who are we kidding? Golden State just took a massive dump on the entire state of Ohio last night. The 110-77 beat down was impressive, but just sad for the Cavs. Through two games, they have now been outscored by a combined 48 points. Things don't look so good for them.
The Splash Brothers were held in check for most of the night. Steph Curry had 18 while Klay Thomspon contributed another 17. The player of the night was Draymond Green who led all scorers with 28. Cleveland didn't feel threatened by him from outside, and they paid for it. Green nailed five three-pointers, most of when he was wide open. Andrew Bogut had a good game defensively. Four of his five blocks came within the first few minutes of the game and set the tone for how it would be played.
LeBron was held scoreless in the first quarter, but led Cleveland with 19. He also had 8 rebounds and 9 assists. He led the team in each of those categories. Kevin Love left the game early in the third quarter after complaining of dizziness. He took an elbow from Harrison Barnes to the back of the head in the second quarter.
Saying that the Warriors dominated the Cavs is a huge understatement. The smaller team outrebounded Cleveland 46-34. They also shot the higher percentage, 54.3 to 34.4. Not suprising at all, the 15 three-pointers didn't hurt either.
We're now in do-or-die mode. Cleveland can't afford to drop one at home if they hope to make a run at a title. For Golden State, if you go up 3-0, congrats, it's over. Hell, it might already be. Game 3 is Wednesday night in Cleveland.
