Warriors-Cavaliers Preview

The Golden State Warriors continue to come up short on this road trip despite some big efforts from Monta Ellis.

After another tough loss, Ellis and the Warriors hope for a better result Tuesday night when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Golden State (27-35) has lost six of seven overall and is 1-4 on a seven-game road trip that ends Wednesday at New Jersey. It has dropped its last two by a combined 12 points, following a 107-103 loss at Boston on Friday with a 125-117 overtime defeat at Philadelphia on Sunday.

Against the 76ers, Ellis scored 18 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, helping the Warriors rally from an 18-point first-half deficit to force overtime. However, Golden State came up short after Philadelphia scored the first three points in the extra period and never trailed.

After suffering another tough defeat, Ellis was frustrated. All four of the losses during this road trip have been by fewer than 10 points.

"We've got to find a way to start winning these kinds of games," Ellis said. "We were right there but they made the big plays and won the game."

Ellis has been a big part of the team's ability to stay close the last two games. Before almost single-handedly leading the Warriors late against the 76ers, he scored 12 of his team's 22 fourth-quarter points in the loss to Boston, finishing with 41.

No late-game heroics were needed by Ellis in a 116-98 win over Cleveland on Jan. 7, when Ellis scored 32 points and added 10 assists and the Warriors led by as many as 21 points. Ellis has averaged 28.3 points his last three games against the Cavaliers.

The Warriors will try to close this trip on a high note against two of the Eastern Conference's worst teams.

Cleveland (12-50) failed to build off Friday's road win over New York, suffering a 96-81 home loss to New Orleans on Sunday. The Cavs shot 36.8 percent and were outscored 45-33 in the second half.

Baron Davis scored 17 points while Ramon Sessions and J.J. Hickson each scored 15. Cleveland led 61-60 with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter, but the Hornets went on a 24-8 run after a scary fall left their star point guard Chris Paul with a concussion.

Davis was making his home debut after being traded from the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 24. He shot 6 of 11 and had five rebounds and six assists, but scored only three points in the second half, missing four of his five shots.

"I think it was a tale of two halves," coach Byron Scott said. "Obviously in the first half he played great and in the second half he was kind of so-so. A little bit like our whole team it seemed like."

Davis, who played three-plus seasons for the Warriors, scored just seven points in 27 minutes for the Clippers in his last meeting with Golden State on Jan. 22.

Warriors shoot past Cavs 95-85

CLEVELAND (AP) When Monta Ellis gets hot and the shots start falling fast, his Golden State teammates know exactly what to do.

"Get out of his way," said Warriors forward David Lee, "or set him a screen."

Ellis found his shooting stroke in the second half, making a career-high six 3-pointers, to finish with 24 points, and backcourt mate Stephen Curry added 23 points, sending Golden State to a 95-85 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.

Ellis made all 5 of his 3-point attempts and scored 17 in the third quarter as the Warriors won for the second time in eight games. He and Curry combined for 25 of Golden State's 29 points in the third and the duo teamed for 47 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists.

"I'm fortunate to be coaching a team that has two players in the backcourt that can shoot the ball from deep, put it on the floor, get to the mid-area and also get to the rim," Warriors coach Keith Smart said. "That doesn't happen that often."

Lee added 14 points and 14 rebounds as Golden State improved to 2-4 on a seven-game road trip.

Baron Davis came off the bench and scored 19 in his second home game for the Cavs, who were powerless to stop Ellis once he warmed up from outside.

Cleveland's J.J. Hickson dislocated his left little finger in the fourth, but the Cavs were actually relieved it wasn't worse.

Hickson got hurt when the ball smashed into his finger as he tried to catch a pass. Hickson grabbed and clutched his left hand in pain, and after play was stopped, he sprinted past Cleveland's trainer and ran directly to the Cavs' locker room.

"I saw his finger pointing east and west," said Cavs coach Byron Scott, whose first season in Cleveland has been overloaded with injuries. "I didn't want to start crying in front of 17,000 people."

The Cavs have already lost leading scorer Antawn Jamison to a broken little finger that required surgery, so Scott was thrilled to see Hickson return to the bench with his fingers taped.

"It scared me," Scott said. "When he first ran off the court, I was like, 'You gotta be kidding me, another one goes down?' Luckily, he was OK."

By the time Hickson returned to the bench, Ellis and Curry had already shot the Warriors to a double-digit lead.

Golden State's backcourt was too much for Cleveland's guards to handle. When the Cavs did prevent Ellis from getting off a shot, the Warriors simply swung the ball to Curry, who has scored more than 20 points in five of his past six games.

Held to 4 points in the first half, Ellis came out firing in the third.

He made his five 3s from a variety of spots - his other bucket in the period was a layup - as the Warriors, who trailed by 12 in the first quarter, opened a 76-65 lead entering the fourth. It didn't matter if the Cavs were up in his face, Ellis was in one of those shooter's zones when the basket seems a mile wide.

Ellis dropped four 3s in the final 4:45 and scored Golden State's last 14 points of the third.

"I was just feeling it," said Ellis, who scored 41 in a tough loss at Boston last week. "I just had the confidence to knock them down."

The Warriors are used to seeing Ellis score in bunches.

"We're not surprised," Curry said. "He takes his show on the road a lot. It's usually acrobatics at the rim, but tonight he was knocking down three's. He took over the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth. He was knocking down a lot of shots. He's tough to guard."

Curry started slowly. He missed his only shot in the first quarter, but banged down a pair of 3s and scored 10 in the second, when the Warriors outscored the Cavs 29-16 to take a 47-46 halftime lead.

Cleveland's fans have quickly adopted Davis as a favorite.

The bearded guard got a rousing ovation when he checked in with 5:32 left in the first quarter and made a quick impact. He scored four points and added two assists, the second coming on a lob pass across the lane to Hickson, whose dunk gave the Cavaliers a 30-18 lead.

Notes: Davis hasn't started since joining the Cavs. ... Warriors assistant coach Mark Price, one of the most popular players in Cavs history, received a loud ovation when he was shown on the arena's scoreboard during a timeout in the first quarter. Price's No. 25 is one of six retired jerseys hanging from the rafters at the Q. ... Scott was relieved that Hornets star Chris Paul wasn't more seriously hurt when he sustained a concussion on Sunday night. Scott coached Paul in New Orleans for four seasons. "I was glad to hear he was OK," Scott said. "I'm going to hive him a call again and see how he'd doing." ... Newly acquired Cavs big men F Luke Harangody (hip pointer) and C Semih Erden (groin) didn't play. Scott said he may rest both players the rest of this week.

THE FACTS: Shooting guard Monta Ellis buried six 3-pointers in the second half and scored a game-high 24 points, powering the Golden State Warriors to a 95-85 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Point guard Stephen Curry added 23 points for Golden State, which outscored Cleveland 77-55 in the final three quarters. Baron Davis paced the Cavaliers with 19 points off the bench.

QUOTABLE: "Monta had to do something tonight to get us going and to get himself going. I thought he was setting up the other guys more than he was looking for his own shot early on, but he really got hot in the second half."
-- Golden State coach Keith Smart

THE STAT: Over the second and third quarters, Ellis and Curry combined to go 7-for-7 on 3-pointers and scored 37 points. Cleveland's entire team scored 35 during that time frame. Ellis had 19 points and Curry added 18 as the Warriors turned a 12-point deficit into an 11-point lead. "I'm fortunate to be coaching a team that has two players that can shoot it deep, make mid-range pull-ups, get to the rim, and also be playmakers," Smart said of his starting backcourt.

TURNING POINT: The Cavaliers had cut Golden State's lead to 78-74 with eight minutes left in regulation, but the Warriors answered with nine straight points over the next 2:07. Adding injury to insult, the key sequence saw Cleveland center J.J. Hickson dislocate his left little finger while making a turnover. Ellis stole the ball and went to the other end to make a momentum-killing 25-footer.

QUOTABLE II: "When it popped out like that, I thought they were going to have to cut it off or something. I was scared. [My finger was sticking out] like an arrow."
-- Cavaliers center J.J. Hickson

QUOTABLE III: "In the first 5-6 minutes of the third quarter, I thought we were just there. You've got to be physical and aggressive with them, but after the first quarter, we didn't do that."
-- Cleveland coach Byron Scott

HOT: Ellis took over the contest after a quiet opening period and finished with 24 points, seven rebounds, a game-best seven assists, three steals and two blocked shots. He made five of his career-high six 3-pointers in the third quarter, staking the Warriors to a double-digit lead that they never relinquished. ... Curry also stuffed the stat sheet with 23 points, seven boards, six helpers and two steals.

NOT: Cavaliers point guard Ramon Sessions is shooting 9-for-34 (26.5 percent) since Davis made his debut with the team three games ago. Davis is 19-for-40 (47.5 percent) with Cleveland, which is why Scott said he was "getting close" to replacing Sessions in the starting lineup. "I thought Baron was great, so I thought I'd leave him out there tonight and roll with it," Scott said.

GOOD MOVE: Cavaliers center Ryan Hollins kept rolling toward the rim in half-court sets, which paid off as he recorded six dunks. He missed his only two non-slam attempts, but finished with a season-high 14 points in a season-high tying 24 minutes off the bench. Hollins also played some terrific defense on pick and rolls.

BAD MOVE: Cleveland's reserves refused to stop Warriors forwards Al Thornton and Vladimir Radmanovic from attacking the basket in the pivotal second period. The veteran went 5-for-7 from the field and 5-for-5 from the foul line, capped by a Thornton three-point play in transition late in the frame.

NOTABLE: Hickson returned to the game after having his dislocated finger popped back into place. The third-year pro said he was "a little sore," but would play Wednesday in Milwaukee. ... The Warriors evened the teams' all-time series at 49-49, but Cleveland owns a 32-18 edge at home. ... Golden State power forward David Lee collected eight points and nine rebounds in the fourth quarter. He finished with 14 and 14. ... All fans in attendance received a bobblehead of injured Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao.

UP NEXT: For the Warriors, Wednesday @ New Jersey, Friday vs. Orlando, Sunday vs. Minnesota. For the Cavaliers, Wednesday @ Milwaukee, Sunday vs. Oklahoma City, March 16 @ Sacramento.
