Kurtenbach: Two big reasons why the Warriors cannot afford to mess around as the NBA Finals shift to Cleveland

The Warriors played a near-perfect Game 2 to take a commanding — perhaps insurmountable — 2-0 lead over the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals Sunday.

And while the Cavs gave Golden State a solid good shot, but the Warriors took it and still ran Cleveland off the court.

The Warriors’ Big Four was stellar: Klay Thompson provided his team an emotional boost (and 33 solid minutes) playing on a high ankle sprain, Draymond Green was omnipresent on the defensive end, Kevin Durant landed body blow after body blow, and Stephen Curry came in and landed multiple haymakers in the fourth quarter.
