The Warriors continue the road trip against the Cleveland Cavaliers. What to watch for tonight:
- Rook on Rook: Kyrie Irving has looked great this year, and with Curry expected out it looks like Jenkins will be tasked with stopping him. Can our rookie slow down their rookie?
- Avoid the Slow Start: As we saw in the game against Charlotte, the Warriors remain susceptible to laying a first quarter egg on the road. The Cavs are an extremely young team, so getting off to a strong start is crucial — no need to give those kids confidence.
- Light at the End of the Tunnel: If the Warriors win this game, then the 3-1 trip they desperately need remains a possibility. At the very least, it would be great to win tonight to avoid relying on a win on a back-to-back to get to .500 on the trip.
