In the NBA latest news and updates, the most favorite teams Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers both delivered their goods before Thanksgiving, last Wednesday night. While the Warriors demolished the Los Angeles Lakers by scoring 80 points in the first half on 149-106 victory, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward Love worked like a charm against Portland Trail Blazers by scoring 34 points in the first quarter in the 137-125 victory.
Washington Sports News reported that the Golden State Warriors star players Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green had bullied the young Lakers all night. The Golden State Warriors probably wanted to pay the LA Lakers back for a blowout loss at Staples Center earlier this month. The Golden State Warriors eviscerated the LA Lakers in every way by burying them with huge bombs from three-point range, threading the needle on beautiful passes for flash plays, and assisting on virtually every shot in the 149-106 victory.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have scored at least 100 points in all nine home games this season.
