After another Cleveland loss, is Cavs’ rivalry with Warriors already over?

Unless the trade deadline passes and the Cleveland Cavaliers haven't made a significant roster move and until Isaiah Thomas works out the final kinks while recovering from his hip injury, it would be best to resist the impulse to overreact and proclaim this rivalry over with the Golden State Warriors. After the Warriors beat the Cavaliers on Monday night for the sixth time in seven games, 118-108, the separation between these two teams has never felt so vast — a gap encapsulated by the first-quarter image of LeBron James pausing to look skyward as Kevin Durant soared over him for a thunderous dunk.
