Game 4 Halftime Post

GSW 50 CLE 55

Welcome in to the halftime post of game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals between the  Golden State Warriors and the  Cleveland Cavaliers where the Cavs have a 50-55 lead at the half.

(+)

CLE: Kyrie Irving, 16 points, 6-10 shooting. In game 3, Kyrie Irving got off to an explosive start, helping the Cavs open up a lead as many as 20 points. Kyrie is having one of those efficient games again and has played much better since the finals returned to Cleveland.

CLE: Offensive Rebounding. Tristan Thompson accounted for 5 of those offensive rebounds. The Cavs are doing it again, outhustling the Warriors in that category and they're one of the reasons why Cleveland has a 5 point lead.

GSW: Draymond Green, 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks. Draymond has been quiet since his 28 point performance back in game 2, but he's still performing well all-around, especially crashing the boards on the defensive end.


(-)

GSW: Steph Curry shooting slump. Curry got off to a quick start in the first quarter, but 4-10 from the field is not going to cut it for the reigning MVP. He hasn't gotten off in these finals at all and the Cavs' defense are doing a good job making sure he doesn't go off.

CLE: LeBron James, 7 points. He played with a lot of energy in game 3, but he's been quiet and accounted for all 4 of the Cavs' turnovers. In spite of that, the Cavs are still leading and LeBron just has to be more aggressive at the 2nd half.

Bottom Line

GSW: Will the real Steph Curry please stand up? Warriors fans are anxious for the MVP to erupt. They have to continue to keep pace at this deficit and try to play with a little more intensity at the 2nd half.

CLE: Keep running the offense through Kyrie Irving and he'll do the work. A more aggressive LeBron James will take this Cavs team to another level like in Game 3.
