The Golden State Warriors show no signs of slowing down as they run over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Stephen Curry put on yet another show as he came up big in the final quarter. The Warriors improve to a 13-2 record for the season while the Cavaliers drop to 9-8. However, Curry shared a wholesome moment with Tacko Fall after the game.
NBA fans went crazy from the moment Tacko Fall came into the league. Standing at an enormous 7 foot 6, he quickly became a fan favorite while with the Celtics. However, he made his way to Cleveland in the off-season on a one-year deal. While we haven’t seen much of the big man, he continues to win over NBA fans.

On the business end, it was Curry’s night as he went berserk in the fourth quarter. Scoring 20 of his 40 points in just the fourth, the sharpshooter took the Warriors home once again. Draymond Green added 4 points along with 14 assists, 1 steal, and a block. Bjelica and Damion Lee combined for 25 points of the bench in the Warriors win.
Darius Garland had yet another 20 point game, scoring 25 points and dishing out 5 assists. Ricky Rubio had an off night after scoring just 10 points on 4-15 shooting. Tacko Fall checked in for just one minute and missed both his free throws towards the end of the game. The Cavaliers fall to a 9-8 record while the Warriors keep rising and improve to 13-2 for the season.
Looking at the way Stephen Curry is playing, the return of Klay Thompson and James Wiseman will make it all the more exciting. Emerging as a good defensive team with a truckload of offense, do you think the Warriors will win an NBA championship this season? Let us know in the comments below.
