Stephen Curry was on fire from beyond the arc as he lifted the Golden State Warriors to a 122-103 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals.
After the craziness of Game 1, Sunday’s second encounter was quite the contrast as Golden State emphatically defended home court. Curry dropped 33 points on 11/26 shooting, breaking an NBA Finals record by netting nine three-pointers out of 17 along the way.
The nine made threes passed Ray Allen in the record books.
