Matchup notes:
Neither James nor Iman Shumpert played in the first meeting. No Cavs lineup played in both games and their current starting lineup — Irving, Shumpert, James, Thompson and Mozgov — played just 1.3 minutes together in the second one.
James scored 42 points on an effective field goal percentage of 68 percent and was a plus-9 in his 36 minutes.
The Cavs threw 3.39 passes per possession in the loss (without James), but just 2.56 in the win (with James).
The Warriors recorded 67 assists in the two games. The Cavs recorded 28.
Against all opponents, the Cavs took 32 percent of their shots from the restricted area. That number was just 19 percent (14/73) with Bogut on the floor and 26 percent against Golden State overall. Only the Kings (20 percent) allowed Cleveland to shoot a lower percentage of its shots from the restricted area than the Warriors did.
The Warriors shot 9-for-16 on corner threes. The Cavs shot 2-for-12.
Irving shot 3-for-16 in the paint and 12-for-24 from outside the paint.
Green shot 9-for-9 in the restricted area and 0-for-10 from 3-point range. He was one of seven players who attempted at least 10 threes against a regular-season opponent without making one.
David Lee‘s 27 total points were the most he scored against any Eastern Conference opponent.
The Cavs scored less than 80 points per 100 possessions in 25 minutes with Iguodala and Shaun Livingston on the floor together for Golden State.
