LBJ putting up a pretty epic game -- 16-9-5 w 3+ left in 1st half. Cavs trail 59-55.

Steph trying too hard to get calls right now. lebron bumped him on a 3 and he went flying backwards. And on the screens he keeps grabbing the screener to try and get the ref to call the moving screen, they might call if it you just move but when you grab them they're not going to call it.

Love and Kyrie are keeping Cleveland much closer this time, not just lebron tonight

With 1:41 left in the half, every #Warriors starter has at least 1 turnover. Steph has 6.

This is only the fifth Finals game _ and the first since 1967 _ where both teams had at least 64 points at the half.

LeBron James in the first half: 8-12 FG, 18 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 1 block

 

[Russ Smith]

Opposite of game 1 tons of GSW turnovers, still have a narrow lead but much more competitive because of Cavs defense. It's Shumpert for Thompson making the difference on D for Cavs. Warriors need to start attacking Shumpert inside, he's very aggressively defending in there but if you throw the ball in to his man they'll get fouls

I wish the Suns could rent Bledsoe and Booker to the Cavs for just the Finals.

Warriors shooting 52 percent right now -- but only lead by three. They've won 106 consecutive games when shooting better than 50 percent.

I think Green was shocked that he made that three.lol

Rough night for J.R. Smith: 0 points, 4 fouls in 14 minutes. He's a -18. Two of his fouls were on 3-point shooters.

Durant has been huge for Golden State. I remember Harrison Barnes just disappeared last year in the finals, especially in the last 3 games. Klay Thompson seems to have the tendency for an off night here and there and Curry and Green are playing as their usual selves but Durant is playing like he wants it more than anyone else out there.

OK why does Irving not get a three-point play on that one?
