The Cavs are down 1 – 0 with Tyronn Lue entering a vital time between Games 1 and 2. The Cavs lost Game 1 by 15 points and, besides a short burst in the 3rd Quarter, were under the control of the Golden State Warriors the entire game.
To be fair, Lue’s defensive plan for Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson worked well overall. While Curry and Thompson missed some easy shots, the Cavs were in position to make things tough for the 2 stars most of the game.
Holding the Warriors to 104 points is impressive when you see that they almost shot 50% for the game and their secondary players all had extraordinary games, including Shaun Livingston hitting 8 of his 10 shots, many contested.
