‍The Golden State Warriors dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers once again with 132-113 victory in Monday's historic second game of the NBA Finals carrying a 2-0 series lead to in-coming round 3 at Cleveland Wednesday. 

The Warriors welcomed back head coach Steve Kerr after he missed 11 games due to his chronic backache.

For Cavaliers, King LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists – the eighth career NBA Finals triple double matching former Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson.
