Despite a flurry of turnovers and multiple second opportunities for the Warriors, the Cavaliers found themselves trailing at halftime of game one by a manageable eight points. A 10-0 run out of the break by the Warriors ended that, and set the course for a second half in which the Warriors cruised after opening a 20+ point lead, finally winning 113-98.
Kevin Durant absolutely dominated throughout, finishing with 38-8-8. He got started early in the paint, and got several laughably easy dunks in transition when the Cavs were so concerned with the three-point shooters that they left wind open lanes to the basket.
