Warriors Ready for Another Road Test

The Warriors are 5-0 on the road and recently defeated the defending champion Boston Celtics. The Celtics game was the first major test of the season for Golden State, and they secured a hard-fought win after trailing by 11 early on. The Warriors’ offense got off to a slow start, but their defense was able to limit most of the Celtics’ three-point surges.

Golden State’s championship DNA is back, thanks in part to some excellent offseason additions. The Warriors currently rank in the top three in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Buddy Hield has emerged as Stephen Curry’s new “Splash Buddy” and has thrived in the Golden State system. When Hield and Curry are on the court together, the Warriors have a +54 point differential. With their depth and defense, the Warriors will be ready to face the undefeated Cavaliers.

Cavaliers: Last Undefeated Team

The Cavaliers are 9-0, and two of their last three games have been extremely close. While the offense continues to put up solid numbers, their defensive efficiency has been trending down a bit. Additionally, Cleveland’s strength of schedule has been relatively easy, and the Cavaliers have only been tested a few times by strong opponents.

Cleveland’s 9-0 start is the best in franchise history. Head coach Kenny Atkinson also made history, becoming the first NBA coach to win his first nine games with a new team. The Cavaliers are savoring the moment, and their depth scoring has been a major factor. Cleveland’s reserves put up 50 points in their last game, and contributions are coming from all over the roster. This is what good teams do.

Warriors vs Cavaliers Prediction

The rivalry between the Warriors and Cavaliers is back and will be on full display in this game. Both teams have gotten off to great starts this season, and this will be the Cavaliers’ first major test. Golden State has already faced a huge challenge against Boston, where they grinded out a hard-fought win. The Warriors are the better team defensively and should be able to match the Cavaliers’ depth on offense as well.
