The Golden State Warriors took care of business in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, beating the Cavaliers 122-103 at Oracle.
It was two-time MVP Stephen Curry (33 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists) who stole the show, nailing a Finals-record nine 3-pointers. Players around the League were amazed by the performance:
