The Cleveland Cavaliers (1 - 1) defeated the Golden State Warriors (1 - 1), 95 - 93, in overtime Sunday at the Oracle Arena to take Game 2 of the NBA Finals. With Kyrie Irving's knee injury to sideline him for the remainder of the Finals, few people gave Cleveland a chance to win a game, let alone a game on the road. LeBron James did everything he could to give the Cavaliers the victory in Game 2, however, and now the series is tied at one game apiece. James finished with 39 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 assists over 50 minutes on the floor to notch his fifth career triple - double in the Finals. Despite James' dominance, the Warriors still had a shot to win the game in overtime. Stephen Curry, who struggled from the floor throughout Sunday's contest, missed the potential go - ahead jumper with seven seconds remaining in overtime. This game will be one to forget for the MVP, who finished 5 - for - 23 from the floor and 2 - for - 15 from beyond the arc. Sunday's game marked the first time in NBA history that the first two games of the Finals went to overtime. Game 3 will take place Tuesday in Cleveland at the Quicken Loans Arena. Cleveland had questions surrounding its supporting cast behind James, but its role players stepped up in a major way Sunday. Matthew Dellavedova, who was filling in at point guard for the injured Irving, was a difference maker on the defensive end and scored all nine of his points in the fourth quarter and overtime. He also made crucial plays on loose balls and rebounds all night, giving the Cavaliers extra possessions. The Cavaliers nearly let this game slip away due to questionable fouls by J.R Smith that let the Warriors cut into their deficit. Cleveland will need to minimize those miscues in Game 3, but for now, it's happy to be going back to its home court with the series tied. Golden State was dragged into a slower paced game Sunday which forced it away from its strengths. In addition to Curry's struggles from the floor, no bench player managed more than seven points in Game 2 and the Warriors shot just 40% from the flooor and 23% from beyond the arc. There were some positive takeaways from the Warriors on Sunday, namely Draymond Green's defense and Klay Thompson's 34 points. The Warriors will need Curry to bounce back in Game 3 on Tuesday in order to regain the series lead.
