The Cleveland Cavaliers came out of the gates firing in Game 3 vs. the Golden State Warriors with their championship lives on the line. Kyrie Irving, who struggled in Oakland to find his shot and looked like a completely silo'd independent part of the offense, went to work in the first quarter with 16 points.
On one particularly notable play, Irving absolutely cooked Stephen Curry, losing him as Curry tried to navigate the screen.
The Cavs need that aggressiveness from Irving, and Curry really struggled in the first quarter, picking up two fouls and looking completely lost defensively. Irving has to play like this every quarter for the Cavs to have a chance of getting back in this series.
