After winning game one of the NBA Finals 104-89, the Golden State Warriors were preparing for a better effort from the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, that effort never came as the Warriors dismantled the Cavs 110-77 in game two.
The Warriors won by 33 points. Thirty. Three. Points.
After a sloppy first quarter and a half, the Dubs turned it on and never looked back.
Such a performance on the biggest stage of the season couldn’t help but garner quite the response from around the league poking fun at the Cavs expense.
How ugly did things get in Game 2? ? https://t.co/B2SX2UANmf

Obviously you cant count the Cavaliers out after only two games, but things are certainly looking bleak for Cleveland. It will take either an out of body experience from the Cavs, a meltdown of biblical proportions from the Warriors or a little of both for the Cavs to regain control of the series. But, after seeing what the Warriors just accomplished, nothing can be ruled out.
Game 3 will take place Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland at 6 PM PT.
