Steph, Klay struggle but Warriors take Game 1 of NBA Finals
The Warriors bench lead the way, using a massive run to start the fourth which sealed the victory

MANILA, Philippines – Steph Curry finished with only 11 points on 4-of-15 shooting, Klay Thompson had only 9 points on 4-of-12 shooting, and yet their team won by 15.

The Golden State Warriors didn’t need their Splash Brothers to dominate in Game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals, instead using the team’s depth and bench play to torch the Cleveland Cavaliers, 104-89, and draw first blood in the championship rematch on Thursday, June 2 (Friday morning, June 3, PH time) at the Oracle Arena.

After blowing a 13-point halftime lead, Golden State leaned on a 21-4 run to open the fourth from their subs to seal the win against Cleveland.

The Warriors had 7 players score in double figures, led by the 20 points of Shaun Livingston. Draymond Green posted 16 points and added 11 boards, 7 assists, and 4 steals.

LeBron James led the Cavs with a near triple-double, registering 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists. Kyrie Irving scored 26 points. – Rappler.com
