It doesn't matter that it's just a regular season game in January. All eyes will be on the Warriors and Cavaliers when the two clash in Cleveland on Monday night.
“We just want to kick each other’s ass,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Sunday to The Mercury News. “There’s no sort of love lost. That’s how it should be. We should be trying to beat each other.”
The Warriors (35-9) head into the showdown with the best record in the NBA. On the other side, it's been and up-and-down season for the Cavs (26-16). Cleveland currently sits in third place and is in the midst of a three-game losing streak.
