Cleveland Cavaliers fans were more than ready to welcome their team home in the NBA Finals, and they've been given multiple reasons to explode in the first quarter. The biggest one: LeBron James driving and dunking it hard when Andrew Bogut elected not to jump with him at the rim:
Bogut didn't try to block it because of the threat James presents as a passer. The Golden State Warriors center bet that James would dish it to Timofey Mozgov for an easy bucket, and he was wrong. Very very wrong.
James has six of the Cavs' 16 points through seven minutes, and Cleveland has an early lead.
