The entire state of Ohio, it seems, is piling on the Golden State Warriors.
After the Cleveland Cavaliers erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Warriors 109-108 on Christmas Day, The Morning Journal newspaper couldn’t resist calling attention to the fact that this wasn’t the first time Golden State let a big lead against the Cavs slip away.

The headline writer had some fun at deadline, writing “Warriors blow 3-1 lead (sorry, muscle memory) 14-point lead in fourth quarter,” an obvious nod to Cleveland beating Golden State in last season’s NBA Finals for its first-ever title.

LeBron James himself, unable to find the high road to good sportsmanship, has been setting the example of antagonizing the Warriors, what with the antics at his Halloween party .
Certainly, though, Stephen Curry and company are paying attention to all of this and will use the fun being had at their expense as extra motivation when the Dubs and Cavs inevitably meet in the 2017 Finals next June.
