Good morning. I can’t believe the Cavaliers did that.

Good morning. Holy moly what a game. Let’s basketball.

CAVS WIN: Game 2 was one of the more exhilarating, ugly games I’ve ever seen. If the play-by-play were a Hollywood script, it would have been tossed away as too unrealistic. Paul Flannery puts the game into as much perspective as can be cobbled in its wake (and in the way only Flannery can).

There’s actually a beauty in watching something like the Cleveland defense just completely throw the Warriors out of rhythm. Like a chaotic, addled ballet. Matthew Dellavedova held Stephen Curry to perhaps his worst shooting game ever (5-23 floor, 2-15 from three, yes he kept shooting) and LeBron had an inefficient but still eye-popping triple-double (39-16-11 while shooting a .368 eFG). The Cavaliers held the lead throughout the fourth until Golden State made a run to tie from 11 down with three minutes to go. And we ended up in overtime, where Cleveland somehow managed to hold on. Series is tied 1-1. How do you feel LeBron?

Curry blew two chances in the final seconds of overtime with an airball and a turnover. It was that kind of night.

LeBron somehow didn’t get a couple of pretty blatant foul calls. The one from Iguodala on the stepback was a mind-blowingly bad call.

Reminder: we don’t go to overtime if Draymond Green doesn’t block the heck out of LeBron’s last-minute lay-up attempt.

J.R. Smith had three very J.R. Smith fouls in the game, and he thanked God he got bailed out by his team after the game.
