Game of the Night

On a day of relative blowouts, the game in Cleveland - despite the lop-sided final score - was actually quite fun. 

Despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back, the Cavaliers played hard and actually led by 13 before the final quarter. However, they were outdone by an all-time great performance from Curry in the fourth quarter.

Highlight of the Night

Got a couple to choose from:

Performance of the Night

No debate here. Stephen Curry runs away with the Performance of the Night.

Erupted for 40, 20 of which came in the final quarter when he single-handedly outscored the Cavaliers by 12. Thus, helping the Warriors flip a 13-point third-quarter deficit into a comfortable 15-point win.
