Short-handed Warriors avoid fourth-quarter collapse and beat Cavaliers, 120-114

CLEVELAND — Friday’s matchup against the Cavaliers had all the makings to be a throwaway game for the Warriors.

Golden State had a quick turnaround from a disappointing overtime loss the night before in Boston and sat four of its five starters, including Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The diminished roster had the Warriors entering as 11.5-point underdogs.
