The Golden State Warriors went toe-to-toe with the Cleveland Cavaliers for most of the night… but in the end, this game came down to one thing:
Shot-making in crunch time.
In this Honest Recap, we break down how the Cavs—led by Donovan Mitchell and a balanced attack featuring Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen—executed when it mattered most, while the Warriors just couldn’t convert.
- Why this wasn’t a “Game of Runs” loss — just execution
- The growing impact of Brandin Podziemski (and his decision-making swings)
- A strong all-around effort from Gui Santos
- The role of Kristaps Porzingis in late-game offense
- The harsh reality: missed shots vs made shots down the stretch
This game may ultimately come down to De'Anthony Melton.
- Struggled offensively (2-for-12)
- Couldn’t stay on the floor late
- And that ripple effect forced tougher defensive matchups (including switches onto stars)
Even without Stephen Curry, the Warriors showed:
- Competitiveness
- Offensive structure at times
- Growth from the young core
But against a true contender, the margin is thin:
👉 You have to make shots late.
