N.B.A. Finals Game 1: Durant and Curry Dominate Cavaliers

Much was made of the Cleveland Cavaliers tying the N.B.A. record with a 13-game postseason winning streak thanks to a 10-0 start this season, but the Golden State Warriors have one-upped them by matching that figure in a single postseason thanks to a 113-91 drubbing of their bitter rivals in Game 1 of this year’s N.B.A. Finals.

The win was not in doubt for most of the game, with Golden State enjoying the luxury of having a Big Four lineup with which they only ever need two of the four to be clicking offensively to run up the score against virtually any opponent.
