Records fall, fans brawl at Game 2

At the end of the Warriors’ Game 2 win Thursday over Cleveland, a brawl broke out between three fans.

The ABC telecast showed the men violently shoving each other. To avoid any contact, LeBron James had to move to his left while walking toward the visitors’ locker room. Cleveland shooting guard J.R. Smith appeared to help push James out of harm’s way.

Oakland police broke up the fracas, which involved a man in a blue Hawaiian-style shirt and another man in a black T-shirt fighting a man in a buttondown shirt. No arrests were made and all of the men involved in the shoving match were Warriors fans, police said in a statement.

That didn’t keep the brief spat from capturing some of a national TV audience’s attention. Video of the fight was shared by Deadspin, and Twitter was abuzz about the fact that James had to sidestep the incident on his way off the court.

Triple-doubles: Stephen Curry (32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds) and LeBron James (29 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds) made history Sunday.

By both recording tripledoubles, they made Game 2 just the second time in NBA playoff history that two players have accomplished that feat in the same game. The only other occurrence was in 1970 when Milwaukee’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and New York’s Walt Frazier had triple-doubles in an Eastern Division finals game. Barrage of 3s: Several threepoint records were set or tied in Game 2.

In addition to the Warriors’ 18 (surpassing the 17 they had in Game 4 last year), the teams’ combined 26 broke the previous mark of 25, which had been done four times. The Warriors’ 43 attempts tied their Finals mark (Game 5 in 2016), and the 72 combined attempts were also a record. A 2-0 lead is good, but ... : Of the 32 teams that have taken a 2-0 lead in the Finals, 28 won the title. Golden State fans know at least one of those four to not win: last year’s Warriors.
