Many dub the marquee games on Christmas day as the unofficial start of the basketball season. Once again this year the headliner will be the Cleveland Cavaliers traveling to the bay area to face the Golden State Warriors.
This will be the first time these two teams will square off since the Warriors took down the Cavaliers in five games last June.
After the Cavaliers lackluster 5-7 start, they have won 19 of their last 21 games and enter Monday’s contest with a 24-9 record. However, up until this point, Cleveland has played one of the weakest schedules in the NBA.
