2018 NBA Finals: Cavs-Dubs IV - Game 2 1st Half Open Thread and Discussion


This is the second half open thread and discussion of Game 2 of the 2018 NBA Finals. As usual, leave a comment below and share your thoughts as the game rolls on.

Q4

CLE 103 GSW 122

Masterful performance from Steph Curry to cap off what was a wire-to-wire victory for the Golden State Warriors. When he and Kevin Durant are shooting at an efficient level, the Warriors are hard to beat. KD had an okay game in Game 1, but Game 2, he was elite. For the Cavs, the demoralizing loss from Game 1 lingered over and the competitive effort was not up to par. More to come in the full recap!

Q3

CLE 80 GSW 90

Anti-climactic end to what was a quarter that belonged to the Cavs. Kevin Love woke up and provided the Cavs a much-needed scoring punch. While LeBron is doing his thing as a facilitator, setting teams up for easy passes, especially towards Tristan Thompson. But, the Cavs winning this quarter 34-31 is not much. The Warriors' scoring trio continues to respond to every run that Cleveland is throwing out there. Klay Thompson, particularly, has not been bothered by the high ankle sprain and Kevin Durant continues to stay hot, shooting efficiently. 4th quarter, time for LeBron to take over? We'll see.
