He isn't the King. That title goes to LeBron James. And he isn't a star like Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. But Matthew Dellavedova is the man in Cleveland.
Starting in place of the injured Irving, the Cavs backup point guard scored nine points and gave reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry fits on defense to help his team to a 95-93 win against the Warriors in Game 2 of the NBA Finals Sunday, knotting the series at one. Prior to the start of Game 3 Tuesday night, the Cavaliers honored him by plastering his image on an elevator inside Quickens Loans Arena.
