Klay Thompson would push that lead to seven with a jumper 32 seconds into the third quarter, but Cleveland would respond with an 11-2 run over the next 4:49 to retake a 66-64 lead. Golden State, however, would respond with a run of their own, outscoring the Cavaliers 11-0 over the next 2:06 to lead 75-66. The two teams would trade baskets through the rest of the third frame, with the Warriors taking an 84-76 advantage into the fourth and final quarter. Cleveland would not get any closer through the first half of the fourth quarter until a Tristan Thompson dunk with 5:53 remaining cut the deficit to five, trailing 93-88. That was as close as the Cavs would get for the duration of the game, as the Dubs clamped down on the defensive end to ensure their sixth-consecutive victory. A Kyrie Irving jumper with 1:40 remaining snapped a 4:13 drought without a field goal, allowing the Warriors to put the game out of reach. Golden State would close out the game with the next seven points, ending the contest with their largest lead of the game (18).

The victory improves the Warriors NBA-best record to 29-5, maintains their undefeated record against the Eastern Conference (12-0), and closes out their homestand with a perfect 6-0 record. Golden State will look to keep the streak going on Tuesday when they play the Jazz in Utah.
