Cavaliers strategy was pretty clear in game-one, let anyone but Steph Curry (11 pts), Klay Thompson (9 pts) beat you. You can almost guarantee one of these 2 guys will go off tonight scoring. If the Warriors can win by 15 with their stars having poor games I think we'll see another double digit win tonight. While Curry and Thompson struggled, Golden State's bench Ike Iguodala, Shawn Livingston and Leandro Barbosa combined to shoot 18-of-24 from the field to pick up the slack for their star teammates, who appreciated the effort.
Golden State scored 25 points off turnovers. LeBron James had a huge game overall but the team shot just 7 of 21 from beyond the arc in the series opener. The Warriors have now beaten Caves 6 straight times (5-1 ATS) since last June and have improved to 10-1 at Oracle Arena in these playoffs with a 9-2 mark ATS.
