Simply because of how Game 1 ended, Cleveland was the smart bet for the Game 2 win. But, the Warriors’ fans had the Oracle Arena sold out and they were ready, if the players weren’t. Early in the game, JR Smith went to the free-throw line, and the fans chanted “MVP.”
Of course, the Warriors’ fans are pushing for Stephen Curry to win the Finals MVP award. Back in 2015, Andre Igoudala surprised the sports world, when he won, with critics saying Curry deserved it, as the team’s leader. Last year, many considered this KD’s team and he won it.
Stephen Curry has proven he is the Golden State Warriors’ leader and he has shown it to start these NBA Finals. Every time the Cavaliers thought they were back in it, Curry hit a three, breaking Ray Allen’s record, in the process. Curry spoke with Doris Burke, following the win, speaking on that, Kendrick Perkins, and Game 3.
