If J.R. Smith had remembered the score, the Cleveland Cavaliers probably would’ve won Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Cavs also likely would’ve won if George Hill had made the free throw that immediately preceded Smith’s Brain Fart Heard ‘Round the World, and they surely would’ve come out on top if the refs hadn’t gone to the replay monitors in the final minute and changed a charge on Kevin Durant into a blocking foul on LeBron James. It was a game of missed opportunities, sliding doors, counterfactuals, and alternate universes. Game 2 was … not that. On Sunday night in Oracle Arena, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant turned basketball into a demonstration sport. So did Klay Thompson and Shaun Livingston and even JaVale McGee for chrissake.
