Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving blocked 20 shots in 75 regular-season games, so he's not exactly Dikembe Mutombo or, say, Andrew Bogut, who started off the NBA Finals with two blocks in a row. Irving did, however, have a huge block in the first quarter on Thursday.

More important: his victim was Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who almost always knows how to get his shot off. 

That's an incredibly impressive defensive play by Irving, who has been limited lately because of tendinitis in his knee. More of that, please.
