2016 NBA Finals: Game 2: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Golden State Warriors Q-by-Q Reaction


Q4:

CLE 77 GSW 110

In summary of this game as a whole, a dominating performance by the Warriors, a demoralizing performance by the Cavaliers. Like I said before, you don't know which of players on the Warriors' roster is going to step up. They are playing at a different level and the first two games put the stamp on how much of a mismatch the Warriors are for the Cavs, despite Cleveland having all their players healthy. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

CLE 62 GSW 82

It was a sloppy quarter to start for both teams, but the Warriors start to keep churning away from the Cavaliers. Draymond Green continues stay hot, accounting for 28 of the Warriors' points and Klay Thompson started heating up this quarter. The Cavs are just having a tough time matching up with this deep Warriors squad, despite all the adjustments defensively and now, they are starting to turn the ball over as the Warriors' defense put the pressure on them.

Q2:

CLE 44 GSW 52

You just never know who's going to come up huge for the Warriors. Draymond Green, despite going cold late in this quarter went off and helped the Warriors' lead balloon to as many as 15. Despite the notion that the Warriors were going to run away, the Cavs came storming back to cut the lead to a more manageable deficit and it started with LeBron James getting to the hoop more often and attacking. Onto the halftime report.

Q1:

CLE 21 GSW 19

A great, defensive quarter for both teams. The Cavs made the necessary adjustments to tighten up their defense and it's working out for them, generating 5 turnovers from the Warriors' bench this quarter. On the Warriors' side, Andrew Bogut got the block party going on early, recording 4 blocks on the Cavs. It's a good struggle so far, but both teams know, they have to do more and execute better offensively.
