108-97 was the final. Reasonably close. The boxscore reads like both teams came "ready to play." The big guns for both teams have great stats: Curry, Thompson, James and Irving all shot about 50% and were their team's leading scorers. Team defense seems to have been played: GS shot about 40%, Cleveland about 46%, each team took exactly 81 shots. The difference in the game was more of GS's shots counted for more: they shot an extraordinary 17/36 from 3-point range, Cleveland only 7/25. That was the game. And probably the series. Two of the remaining three games are in Oakland and Cleveland has to win all three.
Players and coaches earned their millions tonight and the spectators got their money's worth.
People of Cleveland: NOT ONE FUCKING WORD FROM YOU.
