CLEVELAND — Kyrie Irving starts on Steph Curry. But it’s mostly for show. The Cavaliers are well versed in the Warriors’ offense.

Curry is either going to pass the ball and cut, or run the pick-and-roll. He’s either going to set a screen or run off one. Then, a switch or a trap will happen, and Irving will get free from the assignment of defending Curry.
