Keys to the Game: Cavaliers vs. Warriors

After falling in Brooklyn, the Cavaliers tip off another four-game homestand, and they picked one heck of an opponent to get it going – taking on their former Finals rivals and the league’s top squad, as Steph Curry and the Warriors roll in on Thursday night.

The Wine & Gold look to keep the mojo from an outstanding start to the season going, but they’ve had injuries and illnesses to overcome. Golden State comes to town with a 12-2 mark after having thumped the same Nets that dropped Cleveland last night.

Playing without Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Lamar Stevens, the shorthanded Cavaliers fell behind by 23 points in the first half before climbing back through the third quarter and getting to within seven in the fourth.
