GAME. BLOUSES.
In round two between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers this season, the Warriors jumped on the Cavs early and beat them into the ground in a convincing 126-91 victory. LeBron James’ bad acting showed up (although, one could argue it was great acting since Draymond Green picked up the flagrant 1 foul), the Warriors’ big three each posted more the 20 points and, now, Warriors fans can take a deep sigh of relief after the Christmas Day debacle from last month.
The two worst plus/minus showings of LeBron James's career…
