The last time Golden State visited Cleveland, it left with the Bob Griese JerseyLarry O'Brien Trophy. It will still be the Warriors' no matter what happens during their next trip, but a recent slump has them looking a little less invincible.The Warriors will try to avoid their first losing streak since June's NBA Finals in their second matchup against the Cavaliers since then on Monday night.Golden State's 89-83 win on Christmas Day was its fourth straight in this series, including three in a row http://www.dolphinsauthenticofficial.com/AUTHENTIC+BRANDEN+ALBERT+JERSEYon the way to its first championship in 40 years.But after going from the NBA champs to seemingly immortal with 24 straight wins to open this season, the Warriors (37-4) suddenly look human again. They've followed a seven-game winning streak with losses in two of three, and hope to avoid their first losing streak since dropping the second and third games of the Finals.Saturday's 113-95 loss at Detroit http://www.dolphinsauthenticofficial.com/AUTHENTIC+BRENT+GRIMES+JERSEYwas unique. In each of the Warriors' first three losses, they were missing either Stephen Curry, Draymond Green or Harrison Barnes, but they had all of their top scorers available and still had trouble putting the ball in the basket. Golden State scored fewer than 100 points for the fourth time, shot a season-low 36.2 percent and had 18 assists - the first time this season it's totaled fewer than 20.The Warriors are 1-3 when shooting worse than 41 percent, all three defeats coming by at least 13 points.''We've been saying it all year, but no matter where we go, Brian Schwenke Jerseyteams are going to give us their best shot,'' interim coach Luke Walton said. ''In this league if you're not ready to fight back, you're going to get blown out.''Cleveland (28-10) likely is the team with the biggest bone to pick. Kyrie Irving fractured his left kneecap in Game 1 and Kevin Love was out due to a shoulder injury sustained earlier in the playoffs, but the full group is back and looking like the Eastern Conference's top dog again.The Cavaliers' lonehttp://www.nfltitansofficialshop.com/AUTHENTIC+BRUCE+MATTHEWS+JERSEY loss in the last three weeks was Thursday's 99-95 defeat at San Antonio, where the Spurs have rarely been tested. Cleveland won eight straight games prior and followed with Friday's 91-77 win at Houston to complete a 5-1 road trip."We're the best two teams playing right now," Irving said of the heavyweight matchup with the Warriors. "We're No. 1 in our respective conference, they're No. 1 in their conference."
