Warriors find Finals better the second time around (AFP)

NBA scoring leader Stephen Curry and the defending champion Golden State Warriors have found the NBA Finals are better the second time around now that they know what to expect. The Warriors, who downed Cleveland 104-89 in Thursday's opener of the best-of-seven series, can move halfway to a championship repeat by beating the Cavaliers in game two on Sunday. "We have the ultimate confidence in ourselves because of all that went into winning a championship last year," Curry said.
