For the second straight game, the Cleveland Cavaliers offered little resistance to the Golden State Warriors en route to another lopsided defeat in the 2017 NBA Finals.

After tallying his first career postseason triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, the Dubs’ superstar Stephen Curry decided to catch some Zs in the sidelines before the final horn sounded.
With 10 minutes and 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the two-time league MVP appeared to lie down in sleeping position and covered his face with a towel.
At the time, his team was only up by 12 points with plenty of time on the clock, but his teammate—and another former MVP, Kevin Durant—continued the onslaught, finishing with 33 markers with 13 boards.
As expected, Twitter was ablaze over Curry’s antics and his decision to “chill” in mid-game.
Steph took a power nap in the fourth. Deadass laid down and threw a towel on his face he knew it was over lmao.

LeBron carrying the weight of 10 elephants on his shoulders and Steph taking a nap on the sideline. Probably got cucumbers on his eyes

However, not everyone was amused, with some accusing him of being “disrespectful.”

Meanwhile, Curry and the rest of the Warriors will look to take a commanding 3-0 lead as they travel to the Quicken Loans Arena for Game 3 on Thursday (Friday in Manila). Khristian Ibarrola /ra
