OAKLAND, Calif. — After getting wiped out in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Cavaliers claimed they wanted a faster pace for Game 2.

And now after Game 2 on Sunday, the Cavs might be looking to employ a four-corners approach in Game 3.

The pace went up and the Cavs went out as the Warriors, after some early slop, looked even better and faster and downright scarier than in the first game.

“There’s another level we can get to and we’re going to need it,” Stephen Curry said.

Well, that’s sure comforting for the Cavs. Curry forged a triple-double, Kevin Durant was 33 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks worth of pure brilliance and the Warriors, welcoming coach Steve Kerr back to the bench, overcame a LeBron James triple-double to clobber the Cavs, 132-113, for a 2-0 Finals lead.

James was a freight train for much of three quarters. He drove and nothing known to the Almighty, man or the Warriors defense could deny him. But ultimately, it didn’t matter as he wore down. And when was the last time a stat line of 29 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds really didn’t matter?

Curry and Durant had a lot to do with that. Curry, whose shot ailed early, put the game away with a 12-point third quarter that helped the Warriors lead, 102-88, entering the fourth. Curry finished with 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Golden State won a record 14th straight in the same postseason.

“I see two guys,” said Draymond Green (12 points, six rebounds, six assists in a foul-plagued 25 minutes), “more locked in than I’ve ever seen either one of them in my life.”

James, who sat for good with 3:47 left when the Cavs were down 19, matched Magic Johnson’s record with his eighth Finals triple-double. James got 27 points of support from Kevin Love, but Kyrie Irving (19 points) struggled, shooting 8-of-23. The Warriors were too deep, too talented. Whenever the Cavs made noise, the Warriors made more.

And remember Warrior Klay Thompson, who shot like trash in Game 1? He went off for 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting.

“We made runs. We cut it to four at one point, then they went on a quick run. It’s what they do. It’s what Golden State does when you make a mistake,” James said.

The Warriors overcame their mistakes. The Cavs did not. Curry went to the line successfully 10 times alone in the first quarter, finished 14-of-14. Thirteen first-half turnovers by the Warriors ultimately became so what stats no one spoke about.

But a couple moves by Curry and Durant were big topics of conversation — and that’s beyond the pair combined to score or assist on 13 of the Warriors points in a 16-6 run that closed the third quarter and put the Cavs down 14.

In the fourth quarter, Durant had a moment of pure brilliance. He blocked Love, grabbed the rebound and went coast-to-coast and eventually scoring over Love. Jaws dropped, the Warriors led 115-97 and the Cavs headed to a timeout.

“A man play,” Green said.

“His defense was amazing,” Kerr said of Durant.

“When Draymond went out, I just tried to do my best to help everybody out,” Durant said.

Curry’s highlight for posterity capped an electrifying 1:22 span in the third quarter. He hit a 3-pointer, two free throws and then stunned the joint with a dribbling display where he went east, west, north, south and drove around and past James for a score that brought an 83-73 lead.

“Obviously, he’s a great defender, so if you have opportunities, you know you have to do something pretty special to score,” Curry said.

“We love when he’s aggressive,” Durant said.

But Curry was passive about one thing — his eight turnovers, which he pointed to over his first playoff triple-double. The Warriors had 20 turnovers in all.

“There’s an eight on the start sheet that I need to correct when we go to Cleveland,” Curry said.

They go to Cleveland for Game 3 on Wednesday. The Cavs were in the same spot last year, went down 3-1 then rallied for the title.

“We have to defend our home court and we are in the same position that we were in last year,” Love said. “And it definitely is a must-win.”
