Troubling Sight of $163 Million Star Shows Stephen Curry Was Not the Cavs? Worst Nightmare Despite 40 Pt Game for Warriors

The Cleveland Cavaliers took on their long-time rivals, the Golden State Warriors, as they looked to end their two-game losing streak. But Stephen Curry spoiled the Cavs’ night as he dropped 40 points in a tight game. However, this was not the worst nightmare for Cavs fans as the troubling sight of their $163 million star gave them a massive scare.

The Cavs started off the season with a loss, but since then they’ve gone on an eight-game winning streak. The Cavs made a massive move in the off-season to get Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz. With this trade, the Cavs had arguably one of the best lineups in the league and one of the deepest squads as well.

But their road trip has been a letdown as the Cavs have now lost three games in a row. Furthermore, they have blown leads in each of those games. In the game against the Warriors, the Cavs had an 11-point lead but they failed to build on it and they allowed the Golden State Warriors to crawl back and take the game in the end.

But this defeat was not the most concerning part for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
