Wow. What an interesting Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors beats the Cavaliers 104-89, and Golden State’s scoring chart was fascinating.
Shaun Livingston 20, Draymond Green 16, Harrison Barnes 13, Andre Igoudala 12, Leandro Barbosa 11, Steph Curry 11, Andrew Bogut 10, Klay Thompson 9, Festus Ezeli 2.
The Warriors’ bench outscored Cleveland’s bench 45-10.
The Warriors spurted away thanks to Livingston, Barbosa and Igoudala, who combined for 43 points on 18-of-24 shooting.
The Thunder saw the Warrior bench explode on occasion, but nothing like that.
Taking away the fourth quarters of Game 2 and Game 3 blowouts in the Western Conference finals, the Warrior bench outscored the Thunder bench 190-103.
