Last night didn’t exactly live up to the hype between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors but we did see some interesting moments between the two best players in the league, LeBron James and Stephen Curry.

Prior to the game, Stephen Curry revealed what he expects returning to the Quicken Loans Arena.
“Obviously, walking in the locker room, it’ll be good memories,” Curry said Sunday to reporters. “Hopefully, it still smells a little bit like champagne,” he said reminiscent of the game six and championship the Warriors won over the Cavaliers on their own court. The Cavaliers reportedly felt “disrespected” by the comment.
As you know, the game got away from the Cavaliers very early and LeBron was already visibly frustrated near the end of the 1st quarter. James and Curry got tangled up and LeBron shoved Steph to the ground.
Now obviously Steph is much smaller and not as strong as LeBron but he got his revenge in his own way. The two got tangled up again and this time it was Steph who sent LeBron to the floor (with the accidental help of LeBron’s own teammate). And in Steph Curry fashion, he also drained a three-pointer for good measure.
Steph clearly came out with the win in this matchup; not only did the Warriors get a demanding 132-98 win but Curry also dropped 35 points in just three quarters while LeBron finished with 16 points.
