Stephen Curry, Warriors win 5th straight over Cavs in laugher
- 8 years ago
Stephen Curry didn't smell champagne.
Blood was in the air.
Curry scored 35 points in three quarters and Andre Iguodala added 20 as Golden State returned to the arena where it won the 2015 NBA championship and embarrassed the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-98 on Monday.
The Warriors built a 30-point lead in the first half, pushed their advantage to 43 after halftime and bounced back from a shocking loss in Detroit over the weekend to win their fifth straight over Cleveland.
Only a late flurry of points helped the Cavs avoid their worst home loss in franchise history.
Curry made seven 3-pointers -- his last put the Warriors ahead by 40 late in the third quarter -- and the reigning league MVP seemed right at home in Quicken Loans Arena, where the Warriors clinched their first title since 1975 in June.
