Highlights NBA Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors, Game 2: Warriors win 132-113

And with that, it’ a wrap in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors won that one handsomely. At one point in the second quarter, it seemed as if the Cavs would overhaul the Warriors. But it wasn’t to be. Durant and Curry had an incredible night as did LeBron for the Cavs. Warriors remain 14-0 in post-season. We will be back with Game 3 on Thursday at 6:30 AM. We hope you had as much fun as we did. Good bye. 

Just how good have the Warriors been today? THIS good:

132 points for the Warriors, most by a team in an NBA Finals game since June 4, 1987 when the Lakers scored 141 points against the Celtics.

Warriors have done the job well to ensure they go to Cleveland with a 2-0 lead under their belts. Kevin Durant with another excellent game – 33 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists

Cavs 113-132 Warriors. Warriors win Game 2

That’s it! The Warriors seal Game 2 of the NBA Finals. We now head to Cleveland for Game 3. Durant with 33 points on the night.

Cavs 110-127 Warriors

We’re inside one minute to teh end of the match. Game 2 is going to the Warriors.

Here’s ‘The Dance’ from a different angle:

Thou shall not pass! Not when KD is playing like this.

Magic Johnson has a say on LeBron’s feat

Cavs 104-125 Warriors

Durant slams it in to extend their lead to 21 points with just over 4 minutes remaining in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Just an unnecessary reminder of why KD is so good!

Just FYI, this is the first triple double of Steph Curry’s playoff career! 30 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds. This is also the first time in Finals history that players on each team have recorded a triple-double in the same game.

Here’s that Durant play that got us typing in all caps earlier.

Cavs 99-121 Warriors

Steph Curry from downtown. He’s finding his three-point game here.

It’s raining threes at the Oracle Arena.

The Cavs have been good, the Warriors have been better. #Obviously

DURANT! WHAT A PLAY!

KD blocks a shot from Love before running the length of the court and nailing a basket despite being off-balance. The Warriors now have the biggest lead of the night over the Cavs as we head into a timeout.

Cavs 97-111 Warriors

Klay Thompson gets to 20 points for the night with his 4th three-pointer.

Speaking of big occasions, here’s another man who’s standing up and being counted:

Cometh the occasion, cometh the King.

Kyrie Irving shakes off Clark with a sensational move and lays it up.

And we’re up and running in the fourth quarter. The Cavs need to pull a rabbit out of their hat.

Curry now moves to 27 points with nine rebounds and nine assists. Warriors up by 14 and with 12 more minutes to go, Curry could hit a triple double as well.

#ICYMI: Here’s another clip of ‘The Dance’ between Steph Curry and LeBron James.

Cavs 88-102, End of third quarter.

The Cavs had outscored the Warriors in the second quarter and were threatening to overhaul Curry and Co. But that’s easier said than done, as LeBron and his teammates just found out. The Cavs have 12 minutes to draw level in the 2016-17 NBA Finals.

Cavs 86-102 Warriors

And now the Warriors are in triple digits.Time running out for the Cavs. Just seconds remaining in the third quarter.

BTW, LeBron has tied Magic Johnson for the MOST triple-doubles (8) in NBA Finals history!

LeBron is on the bench now and he looks EXHAUSTED. We still have a minute left in teh third quarter.

Here’s a clip of what LeBron can do from outside the arc.

Warriors with the largest lead of the game at 14 points and the rebounds continue to hurt Cavs.

Cavs 84-98 Warriors

Curry gets fouled and he looks a little troubled. Is that a limp we detect? But he nails his free throws to give Warriors their largest lead of the game.

Cavs 84-Warriors 96

Klay Thompson from WAAAAY DOWNTOWN. That was some shot. He’s found his range in Game 2 and has 17 points.

Cavs call for a timeout as it looked like Warriors could run away with the quarter. Lead back to nine points for Golden State.

Durant, so easily the man of Game 1, has 24 points tonight. And we’re only in the third quarter.

Cavs 82-91 Warriors

Iguodala quickly disposes off the ball after a miss from the Cavs. Durant gets fouled but scores his two-pointer. The Warriors make no mistake with their free throw and now they lead by 9 points.

Cavs have to weather this storm, this is where Warriors took control in the last game. The lead is just 4 points for Golden State with 5 and a half left in the third quarter.

The Warriors have been so much better on the rebounds. 34 to 25.

Is this the moment of the Game 2 so far? We think so. Let’s just call this ‘The Dance’.

Cavs 78-86 Warriors

LeBron scores a three-pointer. That’s his first three-pointer for the night. 23 points for the night so far.

Cavs 75-83 Warriors

Schumpert’s effort gets blocked, but Love’s there to score easily.

If you didn’t know this already, here’s why Kyrie matters.

Cavs 73-83 Warriors

Curry, with the ball, and LeBron, guarding him, are dancing around the arc. Somehow, Curray hoodwinks LeBron to drive to the hoop and score a two-pointer. Chef Curry is loving it! He’s got 22 points tonight.

Make that 12 for 12.

Great play by Curry and JR Smith picks up his 4th foul. And he moves to 11/11 from the line.

Cavs 70-78 Warriors

Curry shoots a three-pointer, only his second in this game. Minutes later, he gets fouled and nails both of his free throws.

Cavs 68-69 Warriors

Tristan Thomspon misses his first shot, makes no mistake with his second. We’re back to a one-point lead.

The third quarter is underway.

Curry has six turnovers. That is the same amount as the entire rest of the team. Curry started off  
well but the turnovers are hurting the Warriors. Also, he is 4 for 8 in the field.

#ICYMI: Here’s the kind of half LeBron has just had.

The Warriors have racked up 13 turnovers as compared to Game 1’s four. While Cleveland have successfully reduced theirs to just seven. And that made all the difference for the Cavs.

They don’t call him King James for nothing.

The Cavaliers have already had more points in the paint tonight than they had in all of Game 1.

What a different first half in Game 2! LeBron James is on pace for a triple double with 18 points, six rebounds and 10 assists.

That dunk from LeBron left even Neymar speechless.  

Cavs 64-67 Warriors. End of 2nd quarter.

Irving powers through to the basket to get into double figures for the night with a buzzer-beater.

Look who’s in the house at the Oracle Arena. Lewis Hamilton and Neymar.

It’s been a high-scoring half.

#ICYMI: Here’s some Kevin Love magic.

Cavs 58-59 Warriors

And now we’re down to to one-point. Still over a minute left in the first half.

How KD? Just how?

Cavs 56-59 Warriors

LeBron splits the defence before driving to the hoop and nailing a two-pointer. Timeout is called with 3:06 remaining in the second quarter. Still a three-point game.

Cavs 54-59 Warriors

Curry misses another three-pointer. He’s just landed one of his six today.

Cavs 54-57 Warriors

Arguably the man of Game 1. And he’s doing great in Game 2 too.

Cavs 52-55 Warriors

LeBron throws down a two-pointer and it’s a three-point game now with just over five minutes left in teh second quarter.

WHAT A BLOCK from Durant!

LeBron charges towards the basket but Durant comes out of nowhere to block him. INCREDIBLE!

Cavs  46-52 Warriors 

Love now nails a alley-oop from LeBron James. That lead is now in single digits.

Kevin Love has been incredible today

Here’s that Kyle Korver three-pointer

HOW!

Cavaliers 35-47 Warriors

With 9:56 minutes remaining in the 2nd quarter, the Warriors then score 7 consecutive points, including a Klay Thompson three-pointer.

Cavs 35-40 Warriors 

Green begins the second quarter with a foul. Irving nails one of two freethrows.

Cavs 34-40 Warriors; End of 1st quarter

What an incredible 12 minutes from the Warriors. They trailed for a while there, but shot back with a 40-point quarter!

Cavaliers 19-28 Warriors

3:42 still left on the clock in the 1st quarter and Kyrie Irving shoots a three-pointer. How badly did the Cavs need this! The chase is on!

Cavs 16-26 Warriors

Durant blocks Irving’s jumper as Curry snatches the rebound. Durant slams a three on the other end.

Cavs 16-32 Warriors

Brilliant from the Warriors. They were trailing by a point during the last time-out, and they lead by seven now. as we go into another time-out with 5:19 left on teh clock. INCREDIBLE!

Durant and Curry combining well so far.

Cavs 14-13 Warriors

The Cavs have come out like on a mission. They lead by a point as the first timeout is called.

And we have tip-off! Warriors won Game 1, and Cavs need to win this to stay relevant in the NBA Finals.

We’re minutes away from tip-off in Game 2, and just to get you warmed up, here’s a tasty montage of the best plays of Game 1:

Here’s evidence of why Kevin Durant is the man the Cavs would be wary of today:

We’re minutes away from the start of Game 2 of the NBA Finals. 

Just in case you missed it, here’s a quick video recap of Game 1:
