If the Warriors were in for a stinker, the bill arrived in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers, the only remaining undefeated team in the league, completely dominated Golden State, which had never led in the match. Former Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson’s group started 13-for-17 from 3 and built a commanding 40-point lead in the first half.

After already sealing a successful road trip with a victory against the defending champion Boston Celtics, the Warriors (7-2) did not come close to extending their five-game winning streak in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers scored a franchise-record 83 points in the first half en route to a 136-117 victory – their 10th straight win to start the season. Their starters, led by Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, outscored the Warriors’ 91 to 40.

With everyone at their disposal, the Warriors started Steph Curry, Gary Payton II, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis. But from the start, the Cavaliers took control.

Darius Garland, fully healthy after battling a broken jaw for much of last year, split a Golden State defense that entered the game ranked second in efficiency. Cleveland went on a 17-0 run in five minutes, hitting seven of 10 3-pointers en route to a 39-22 opening period.

With his full roster, Steve Kerr played against 10 Warriors in the first quarter, leaving Moses Moody and Kyle Anderson on the bench. Anderson started the second quarter and Moody joined him soon after as Kerr continued to use a deep 12-man rotation.

The Cavaliers handled Golden State’s traps on high ball screens much better than other teams, finding relief valves and then opening up shooters. A pair of corner 3s from Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade helped prevent the Warriors bench from turning the game around as it has all season.
