A Cavs fan who travelled more than 800 miles was furious to see Steph Curry benched
The Golden State Warriors are having a disappointing season thus far. They did, however, manage to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night with a decisive victory. “Traveled 809 miles to take my son watch Steph Curry sit on the bench,” read the sign that one Cavaliers fan carried when they arrived at the arena.
The Warriors won despite the absence of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green thanks to Jordan Poole and Ty Jerome. In addition, one Cavaliers fan’s picture depicting their wrath towards Curry went viral, as if losing to the undermanned Warriors wasn’t bad enough.
Gabb Goudy, a social media influencer for FanDuel, tweeted a picture of the sign, which instantly went viral. After winning the championship last year, they have struggled this season due to injuries and a terrible bench unit.
Even without some of their greatest players, the Warriors dominated because the Cavaliers didn’t appear to be at their best. Even without Donovan Mitchell, they ought to have been in the lead going into the game. Having said that, Darius Garland praised Golden State’s depleted team after the game.
The altercation between Kerr and Poole during the Cavaliers game was another source of controversy. At the conclusion of the third quarter, the Warriors guard committed an offensive foul and then was called for a delay of game, which resulted in a technical free throw for the Cavaliers. On the sidelines, Kerr could be seen telling him to “lock the f*** in.”
Poole really performed quite well during the game, according to Kerr, who said that he “snapped” at that precise moment.
