Thursday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers was nothing short of a letdown.
With so much hype leading up to the third consecutive NBA Finals rematch between both teams, fans were instead treated to a blowout victory as the Warriors routed the Cavs, 113-91, to take a 1-0 series lead.
Social media had plenty of jokes with the game out of reach in the second half. And with the National Spelling Bee going on, there was plenty of jokes about that as well.
So grab some popcorn and enjoy some of the top reactions from Thursday’s game:
We've reached the point where the spelling bee has become better TV than the NBA playoffs
