As expected, the Warriors' victory in this game was mainly due to the large number of players and sufficient physical fitness.
The score between the two teams was 22:22 in the first quarter and 28:29 in the second quarter. The Warriors only led by one point, and the Cavaliers did not fall behind.
But in the third quarter, the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 22:17, leading by 5 points in a single quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 31:24, completely opening up the score.
The Cavaliers are already working hard to make changes. Mozgov only played 9 minutes in this game, Smith played 36 minutes, Mike Miller and James Jones also played 14 minutes and 18 minutes respectively. The Cavaliers have more
used a small lineup.
But there is a problem with the small lineup of the Cavaliers Green, which is the imbalance of offense and defense. Mike Miller and James Jones can only attack but not defend, and Smith is not very good on the defensive end.
In this case, the Cavaliers can only increase the playing time of a few main players. In the whole game, James played 45 minutes, TT played 40 minutes, Shumpert played 37 minutes, and Dellavedova played 42 minutes.
, Smith also played 36 minutes.
Of course, the Warriors' main players played a lot of time. Curry played 42 minutes, Iguodala the same 42 minutes, Green 36 minutes, and Klay 40 minutes.
Although the main force has been playing for a long time, the Warriors have the advantage of being younger, and the Death 5 has both small skills and defense, and no one is a weakness.
The Cavaliers' best performer in the game was James. He made 15 of 34 shots, 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 40 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 turnovers.
The best performer for the Warriors was Curry. He made 13 of 23 three-pointers, 7 of 13 shots and scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Of course, he also made 5 turnovers.
Although James scored more three-pointers, he took 11 more shots, which is far behind Curry in terms of efficiency.
Four Cavaliers scored in double figures, including James' 40 points, TT's 19 points, Smith's 14 points and Shumpert's 10 points.
Five players on the Warriors scored in double figures. In addition to Curry's 37 points, Green scored 16 points, Iguodala had 14 points, Klay had 12 points, and Barbosa on the bench made 4 of 5 shots and also scored 13 points.

…
On June 16, 2015, Game 6 between the Warriors and Cavaliers began at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
There are no changes in the starting lineup of both teams in this game. The Warriors still play with 5 small players. The Cavaliers still have a twin-tower lineup, with TT and Mozgov starting.
For the Cavaliers, they have no choice. The Warriors' advantage is speed and accuracy. No matter how the Cavaliers change, if they want to play fast, they will lose if they shoot faster. In this case, it is better to give full play to their inside advantage.
