?Curry Was Holding Back This Warriors Superteam?: NBA Fans Go Crazy as Injured Stephen Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond Green Trio Couldn?t Stop GSW Win

The Cleveland Cavaliers are having a great season so far. The team has made headlines with their dominating performances against different teams, led by Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland up front. Although the Cavs now seem to ache for help with their main star Mitchell out due to a groin injury. The Cavs have struggled with Mitchell out for just two games, coming off their latest loss against an injury-ridden?Golden State Warriors today.?

The Cavs had lost their previous game in a heated match-up against the Memphis Grizzlies by one point. Even with Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarett Allen on the team, the Cavs couldn’t get past both the Grizzlies and the Warriors without Mitchell. Furthermore, fans were shocked to know that the Warriors, without their three main stars, beat the Cavs in a road game.?

Jordan Poole scored a game-winning 32 points, along with Ty Jerome’s 22 points and 8 rebounds. Donte DiVincenzo assisted the team with a crucial 17-point game. Jordan Poole is having a great season, averaging 21.1 points and 4.4 assists so far off the bench. The young guard likely has a great shot at the 6th Man of the Year award if he continues with his performances.

Apart from their three main stars, Andrew Wiggins, Andre Iguodala, and James Wiseman were also rested. After their tough loss against the Boston Celtics in overtime yesterday, the Warriors decided to rest all their main stars. Though fans thought this might be a huge problem considering their away record, it didn’t turn out like one in the end.?

Who has a better shot at the championship?

Both teams are in a similar position in their respective conferences. The Warriors have raised to the 6th seed with a 23-23 record, while the Cavs stand as the 5th seed with a 28-19 record. Keeping in mind the playoff experience of the Warriors, the path might get easier if the team gets a comfortable spot in the top 8.

Similarly, the Cavs with Donovan Mitchell back on the team would likely have a higher chance of making the playoffs, although they will have to face heavy competition there. The team is certainly highly dependent on Mitchell, mainly on the offensive side.?
