OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) LeBron James has been brilliant in the first two games of the NBA Finals, which still have been lopsided losses for his Cleveland Cavaliers.
While James has delivered – he had a triple-double Sunday night in Game 2 – it hasn’t been nearly enough against the superstar-laden Golden State Warriors.
Kevin Love provided a needed scoring boost in Game 2 after Kyrie Irving did the same in Game 1 but almost no one else came through, sending the Cavs to a 132-113 loss and an 0-2 series deficit.
Unless that changes quickly, Cavs-Warriors III could end up being a much shorter series than the first two editions of the Finals trilogy that the teams split.
