Game 6 Halftime Post

GSW 43 CLE 59

Welcome in to the halftime post of game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals between the  Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers where the Cavs have a 43-59 lead at the half.

(+)

CLE: Kyrie Irving, 20 points, 6-12 shooting. Kyrie stays hot and continues to have these hot starts while shooting efficiently from the field. If there's any reason that the Cavs are back in these series and could be the first team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals, Kyrie Irving is the reason.

CLE: Tristan Thompson, 11 points, 10 rebounds. Tristan Thompson brings a lot of energy for the Cavs obviously. In another elimination game, he's showing up big, cleaning up the boards and running off to the races for a couple of easy dunks to ignite the Cleveland crowd.

GSW: Stephen Curry, 18 points, 4-9 shooting. Great players have to carry their teams when they're down. Despite the early foul trouble, Curry is off to decent start and helped ignited the run the Warriors had in the 2nd quarter to cut the deficit.

(-)

GSW: Harrison Barnes, 0 points, 0-6 shooting. The first four games these, Harrison Barnes was playing some solid basketball. He's quickly turning from hero to scapegoat and he's slumping bad in the worst case possible for the Dubs.

CLE: Kevin Love, 1 points, 3 fouls. Let's not talk about Kevin Love for the Cavs. He's non-existent.

CLE: J.R. Smith, 3 points, 1-4 shooting. Smith is relying on his 3 point shot too much this game. He has to go back to attacking the basket to put more pressure on the Warriors' defense.

Bottom Line

GSW: The Warriors have to take better care of the ball and have their deep roster to step up and find their game. Klay Thompson has to heat up for the 2nd half.

CLE: Keep running the offense through LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. They have continue to be physical upfront defensively to force a decisive game 7.
