Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Overview

Controversy encapsulated the last minute of play. First, the Warriors’ Kevin Durant was charged with an offensive foul which was subsequently reviewed and charged to LeBron James for a blocking foul, giving the trailing Warriors a second chance to equalize the game. In the final stages of Game One, JR Smith would commit an error that many analysts are still stunned by. After point guard George Hill missed his second free throw, Smith would get the board and nearly run out the clock in regulation. It seemed JR Smith was unaware that the score was tied and robbed Cleveland of an opportunity to get another shot up to win Game One. LeBron James would sizzle as he would score 51 points with eight boards and assists to complement his sensational night.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Prediction 06/03/2018

The indicative steam move would suggest that a zig-zag scenario seems poised to unfold here with Cleveland being offered at the same price it closed at in Game One. However, the fact remains that Golden State is prone to be overvalued here perhaps even more with the Game One win. How Cleveland responds to the demoralizing loss is a subject of conversation for many as it puts Cleveland’s apparent title hopes in jeopardy. Nevertheless, we are getting the game’s most dominant player with yet another friendly price. We’ll take the points again.
