A Fight Broke Out In The Stands By The Cavs Tunnel After The Warriors’ Game 2 Win

The Warriors blew out the Cavaliers for the second straight game to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals. The Cavs hung around for the first half, trailing by only three at the break, but Kevin Durant and Steph Curry blew the game open in the second half as Golden State’s offensive attack was simply too much for the Cavs to keep up with and the Dubs won, 132-113.

While Cleveland didn’t put up much of a fight in the second half, some Warriors fans by the Cavs tunnel more than made up for it by scrapping after the game. As the ABC cameras were following LeBron James and J.R. Smith off of the court after the loss, we caught a glimpse of three fans getting into a pretty serious altercation, with one getting shoved to the ground and continually pushed. James and Smith both tried to step back and make sure it wasn’t going to spill onto the floor where they were trying to walk.

Here’s another look at the scrap that started when it appears the first fan attempts to cut in front of the other two to get close to the tunnel as the Cavaliers left the floor.

Fans regularly try to crowd near the tunnels to get high fives or hope to catch some memorabilia a player throws into the crowd, so it’s surprising this type of thing doesn’t happen more. However, after watching the Cavs lose like this, I can’t understand why you would expect them to be in any kind of a mood to give high fives or toss something to you in the stands.

UPDATE: The fight apparently went down because someone that had been sitting courtside wanted a picture taken and backed up into the stands to get a better angle. This led to a confrontation and the eventual physical altercation.

That’s the risk you run when you decide to talk down to a couple people because you think having lots of money gives you free reign to go and do whatever, no matter if it inconveniences others.
