We return with basketball action and a rematch of the last three NBA Finals, as Steph Curry and Kevin Durant and the rest of the Warriors travelled to face the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James and company have lost three straight, two of those defeats coming by more than 25 points, and they blew a 22-point lead in the other. The Dubs are rolling, having won 12 straight on the road.
LBJ skies to finish this alley-oop to give his team the lead.
Durant also rocks the rim, on a fast break, he throws it down over the King, a little stare down follows.
Golden State though continues to trail, despite this shake-and-bake, and step back three from Curry.
Isaiah Thomas tries to add to the lead, his miss is cleaned up by the King -- 6-point lead.
And James doing it on the defensive end too, getting the block on Durant. Well timed play by the 4-time MVP. One more alley-oop before recess sees the Cavs take a 7-point lead into half-time.
G-State start to take control in the second -- Curry getting up for the throwdown. 2--point game. Then he does what he does -- nailing the long triple -- he had 23, and the visitors are now in front.
He tries to add to that, but James once again is a beast on the defensive end another block keeps the game close.
Ty Lue trying to come up with a strategy for his team, but something went wrong.
As Durant is left wide-open. He had 32 to lead G-State, the Warriors win it by 10 as Cleveland have lost four straight.
