Cleaveland Cavaliers win games 2 and 3 against the Golden State Warriors. The Cavs back to back finals games against Golden State to bring the series in their favor with 2-1 series win. They manage to hold on even without two of their best players, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving, who both are not able to play due to injuries. Love suffered a dislocated left shoulder back in April, and is unable to play in the post season, while Irving recently had knee surgery. Kyrie Irving, the Cavs starting point guard, was injured during game 1 of this years NBA finals against the Golden State Warriors. His injury happened during the first few minutes of overtime.
Without Love and Irving, the Cavs turn to their star player Lebron James for answers. Lebron continues to show his skills on court as he dished out 40 points in game 3 of the finals series. Cavs won game 3 with a score of 96-91 against the Warriors. Also helping the Cavs to victory is Matthew Dellavedova who put in 20 points in game 3 along with Tristan Thompson who scored 10 points, and JR smith who also score 10 points for the Cavs.
The Golden State Warriors are looking to tie the series in game 4. After game 2 of the series and Stephen Curry's poor performance in it, the Warriors point guard said, "That usually doesn't happen. Mechanically, I don't know if there's an explanation for it. Just didn't have a rhythm and didn't find one the whole game." Curry, who had a very frustrating game 2, scored only 19 points and was only 2-of-15 from the three point line. Curry's performance in game 3 slightly improved, as he was able to score a total of 27 points in his 44 minutes of playing.
The Cavs seem to be doing fine even without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving to help them, but The Warriors will continue to find a way to win the series.
