Warriors 132, Cavs 113 — Final
Behind another monster performance from the duo of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors crushed the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the 2017 NBA Finals, 132-113.
Durant led the way in scoring, dropping 33 points to go with his 13 rebounds and six assists. Curry added 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Perhaps most importantly, Klay Thompson may have broken out of a playoffs-long slump, scoring 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting.
Cleveland, meanwhile, was led by LeBron James, who went for 29 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds. Kevin Love added 27 points. And Kyrie Irving went for 19 on 8-of-23 from the field.
The series now shifts to Cleveland for Game 3 on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.

Whoa...
Curry just put a series of moves on LeBron. He caught him with the little eye fake (where he just looks at the rim to make guys think he's going to shoot) around the three-point line. That was nasty.
