CLEVELAND, OH: In a high-scoring affair that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Golden State Warriors with a 136-117 win at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Despite a strong second-half showing by Golden State, the Cavs' explosive offense and sharp shooting throughout proved too much for the Warriors to handle.
Golden State's offensive firepower, typically led by Stephen Curry, fell flat in this matchup. The two-time MVP was held to just 12 points. Curry's usual magic from deep was absent, and he struggled to get into a rhythm all night. Despite a second-half push, the Cavaliers ulimately proved to be too much.
The undefeated Cavs will look to continue their momentum as they head into their next matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The Warriors, on the other hand, will need to regroup quickly ahead of their next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
