Happy holidays, and welcome to the abridged recap of the Warriors' Christmas Day victory.
First Quarter
- The Warriors came out emotionally charged. With that adrenaline rush came the familiar sloppiness on offense.
- The Cavaliers started out by missing a few open looks. JR Smith made a few shots early, which boded well for the Warriors in terms of shot selection from the mercurial 2 guard (more on that later).
- Being the hardest-working player on the court with 10 of the hardest working players in the world is a talent.
