The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are no strangers to one another. Since the beginning of the 2014-15 campaign, the two teams have played each other a total of 18 times, including two finals series. This time was a bit different since the Cavaliers were with Matthew Dellavedova.
For the first 17 of those games, the Cavaliers were with point guard Matthew Dellavedova. In those match-ups, Cavaliers coaches David Blatt and Tryonn Lue were comfortable with Delly guarding the two-time MVP Stephen Curry, whom he had moderate success against.
In the most recent game, however, the Cavs were without Dellavadova, which is Warriors head coach Steve Kerr could notice.
