Even on a night when Klay Thompson could not get it going from the three-point line (1-for-7), the Warriors still ended up shooting at 54.1 % from long range. This was possible obviously because of their sharpshooting point guard, Stephen Curry.

Curry could not miss from anywhere as he went 9-for-12 from beyond the arc and dismantled the Cavaliers. Green also showed his shooting skills as he went 3-for-7 from distance. Also, coming off the bench, Quinn Cook went 4-for-5 from the three-point line and finished with 17 points.

While the Warriors were connecting nicely last night, none of the Cavaliers' players found success from the three-point line. Everybody not named Collin Sexton combined for just 4-for-23 and this was one of the main reasons why the Cavaliers lost this game.
