For the second straight year in a row, the Cavaliers dropped game one of the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors. And for the second year in a row it was a very winnable game, even though the final score doesn’t reflect that.
The Cavaliers found themselves down by 14 in the first half, but they clawed their way back to a lead in third quarter thanks to good play from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. But their efforts were all for naught when the Warriors responded with a 15-0 run.
