I Tried Watching The Game But Could Not Stand All The Commercials -- June 16, 2015

But checking out  the score on the internet, it looks like a blowout. With less than 5 minutes to go, 94 - 77; and then moments later 94 - 81, so it's Golden State's game to lose. And in the NBA it can happen.

****************

At less than 50 seconds to go, 100 - 94, it looks like a blow-out, and it's even possible Stephen Curry won't be the high scorer on the winning team. Curry is having a bad night: misses one of two free throws when it matters most, in the last 40 seconds.

****************

I spoke too fast; 4 points separate the teams with an eternity to play, 30 seconds. Time for at least eight more time-outs and eight more 2-minute commercials. Stephen Curry at the line.

********************

Curry hit both free throws. 6-point lead, but Cleveland at the free throw line.

********************

7-point lead with 10 seconds; Cleveland at the free throw line (again).

*********************

Must be over. LeBron James has left the game. Left the game with 10 seconds to go. The second-guessing begins. Who will be the MVP? I would go with Curry.

*********************

Yup, a blowout. Stephen had an off-night; did not score the most points for his team; tied with teammate Andre Iguadala for that honor, 25 points apiece. Curry with only three 3-pointers. Bummer.
