If you're watching the finals on ABC, you heard Mike Breen right. The Cavs have set an NBA Finals record for most points in a half by any team. This sensational 1st half performance from Cleveland reminded us why they went 12-1 en route to the NBA Finals. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are doing their jobs, combining for 50 points at the half. But, Kevin Love has got the 3-point shooting going again, draining four 3-pointers during the half. Tristan Thompson is slowly coming along, notching 6 rebounds. This team is getting their points by any means whether it's attacking the basket, hitting their 3-pointers, or finding ways to draw contact to get to the free throw line. The Warriors are battling early trouble because the Cavs are being the aggressor. That's what the defending champs have to do. The question is now, can they sustain it? Golden State will have one of those runs. The Cavs still can't find ways to stop Kevin Durant and despite Curry and Klay Thompson being held to a combined 15 points, you never know when they'll flip the switch. The Cavs must channel their inner John Madden. In order to win, they have to score more points than the Warriors. They must continue to get the scoring offense rolling. The 2nd half will open up shortly.

GSW 33 CLE 49
This quarter alone was the best the Cavs have looked throughout this whole series. This team is fighting just to stay alive in this series, avoid a sweep on their own home floor. Tristan Thompson's activity level on the boards is finally displayed. Kevin Love's three point sharpshooting from the Cavs' playoff run is showing up. The Warriors had a brief stint where they cut the lead six, but the Cavs just keep attacking on both ends of the floor, giving Golden State early foul trouble from their key players.
