Cavs beaten by the Warriors

-------``` Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | TOT``` 
```GSW 35 | 22 | 36 | 25 | 118``` 
```CLE 37 | 27 | 27 | 17 | 108```

Cavs missed 15 of their 16 shots in the 4⃣th period leading to a 20-6 Golden State run, which eventually resulted in another disappointing result for Cleveland.

The men in wine-n-gold entered the 2⃣nd half with a 7-point advantage, following a strong 64-point 1st half. But the 4th quarter⏱ had a different story altogether. LeBron finished with a solid💪 32pts/8rebs/6ast on the stat-sheet, while KD matched up with similar numbers(32pts/5rebs/8ast) to solidify his claims that he is at par with 👑The King's skills, if not better. Curry shot 53% overall and made a contribution of 23 points along with 17 more from his 👏Splash Brother, Klay Thompson.

Isaiah Thomas played a healthy 32 minutes, but could only manage 19 points🤷‍♂️ shooting 8 of 21 from the field. Cavs resurgent efforts were visible throughout the game, owing to the age-old👊 rivalry they have with the Warriors. There was trash talking, LeBron's mentoring, back and forth runs and Draymond's jibes🗣 after baskets, but none of that matters as it was evenly distributed on both sides.

Warriors improve to 36-9, which is the best record☝ in the league at this point in time. On the other hand, Cavs slip to 26-17 at the 3⃣rd position out east, just a game ahead of Miami in the standings.

Cleveland & Golden State have played against each other twice this season, both resulting in ✌GSW wins. The next time they face off would be in the NBA Finals, that is if both teams manage to reach it this year.
