OAKLAND, Calif. -- After escaping by the good graces of the basketball gods with an overtime victory in Game 1, the Golden State Warriors rediscovered their best rhythm in a 122-103 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
Any short-term concerns about Klay Thompson, who came into the game nursing a high left-ankle sprain he suffered on Thursday night, were largely extinguished early. He buzzed along the perimeter with his usual flow, appeared his typically sturdy self on the defensive end and drained a pull-up 3-pointer on a 1-on-3 break in the third quarter.
