As Draymond Green goes, the Warriors go. After a controversial play involving Oklahoma City’s Steven Adams in the previous series, Green seemed rattled and uncomfortable.

But on Sunday, Green seemed to find his comfort zone, and the Warriors rolled along with him to a dominant 110-77 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, giving them a commanding 2-0 series lead. Although it seemed in serious doubt just over a week ago, Golden State is now on the cusp of winning its second straight NBA title.

Green scored 28 points to pace Golden State (his most since Game Three vs. Portland), leading the way by nailing a team-high five of eight three-pointers in the contest. He also made eleven of his twenty field goal attempts, also leading the team in that category.

The Warriors started out hot early, and never looked back. That hadn’t been the case in earlier playoff games, in which Golden State seemed to coast early on, had to come back, and eventually outlasted the opponent. They took a commanding eight point halftime lead that could have been much more, had Steve Kerr not pulled Stephen Curry with a few minutes left in the second. Without Curry, a fifteen point lead quickly melted to just that eight point margin.

But with Curry back in in the second half to complement Green’s scoring outburst, the Warriors blazed past the Cavaliers, holding them to just 33 points in the second half.

Curry had 18 for Golden State, and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson had 17, as the Cavaliers did well to keep the dynamic duo relatively in check. They picked up some of the slack for Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut, who combined to score just 7 points in 50 minutes.
