The Golden State Warriors have dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers through the first two games of the NBA Finals, but they would be naive to think life will be that easy on the road in Game 3. Klay Thompson hinted on Sunday that he is expecting a hostile environment, to put it kindly.
Following Golden State’s 110-77 win in Game 2, Thompson spoke briefly about the fans in Cleveland.

Visiting players would feel the same about most fan bases during a series as important as the NBA Finals. If the Cavs want to claw their way back into the series and avoid being embarrassed, they are going to need the home fans to create some issues for the Warriors.
Interestingly enough, Stephen Curry’s wife took a swipe at Cavs fans during last year’s NBA Finals for not being all that enthusiastic. LeBron James and company might disagree after what their own fans did to them earlier this season.
