The Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, 132-113, in Game 2 of the 2017 NBA Finals. As the series begins to unfold, adjustments, trends and new questions regarding each start to emerge.

As the 2017 NBA Finals shift to Cleveland, the parallels to last year’s series are both increasing and diverging.

The Golden State Warriors are again up 2-0, winning both opening home games in blowout fashion. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are again struggling early, and a lot has to change for the Cavaliers to get back into the series.

This time, though, Stephen Curry is dominating. Kevin Durant is better than Harrison Barnes. Cleveland actually got better, rather than worse, in Game 2, but was still demolished.

Those differences, as well as similarities, helped inform our Game 2 takeaways.
