Game 2 Expectations

I will give a ton of credit to this Golden State Warriors team. They are eilte not only on the offensive end, but defensively the were smothering.

They held the Cavs to 91 points, which is 19 points under their average scoring total per game. The Warriors defense was the reason for the Cavaliers turnovers and the reason for their bench not being able to be productive.

Adjustments will be made.

The Cavs have a better feel for what they’re going up against, and what they need to do in order to stay competitive for four quarters. I believe they will not only cut down on their own turnovers, but force Golden State to commit more on these other end as well.

If the Cleveland Cavaliers do that and get normal production from their bench guys and their three-point shooting normalizes, look for this series to head to Cleveland tied at 1-1.
