5 observations from Warriors' blowout over Cavs at Oracle

Cleveland 1, Golden State 1.

The Warriors snapped a four-game losing streak against the Cavaliers in dramatic fashion by dealing LeBron James and Co. their worst loss of the season by a score of 126-91 at Oracle Arena on Monday.

Here are five things you should know about the latest battle of the titans.

Looking for revenge

The Warriors were ruthless. They hopped out to a 7-0 lead within the opening two minutes and only poured it on from there. The Warriors led by 15 after one, 29 at half, and that's all she wrote for the Cavaliers.

Golden State was thirsty for revenge and played like it. The Oracle faithful egged them on each step of the way. Cleveland's last trip to Oakland was Game 7 and that seemed to be all the motivation the Warriors needed.

Case in point: Klay Thompson was draining pull-up threes with the Warriors up 31 with less than seven minutes to go. There is no love lost between these two sides.

Does this win change anyone's perceptions of their inevitable Finals rematch? Not a chance. The Cavaliers are still the reigning champs and the onus is entirely on the Warriors to take back the title. But at the very least, the Warriors can return some swagger to their step.

Durant does what he wants

Forget LeBron James, Kevin Durant has been the best player on the court in their two grudge matches this season.

The Durantula dominated on both ends of the court, just as he did in the Christmas showdown. Durant punished mismatches, stuffed the living daylights out of James, and threw down a dunk so powerful that it left Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue in a stunned stupor.

Durant put together a masterpiece, with 21 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocks in only three quarters on Monday after dropping his 36 points and 15 rebounds in December.

This isn't Harrison Barnes going 5-of-32 in the last three games of the Finals. The Cavs are scratching their heads trying to solve this new threat at small forward.

Road woes for the champs

Not to make excuses for the champions, but this was every bit a scheduled loss. They looked sluggish for all but a brief push in the third quarter and their lack of energy shouldn't be a surprise.

This was the final stop of a six-game road trip for the Cavaliers that carried them from coast to coast. The entire ordeal saw the Cavs travel more than 4,500 miles across the United States.

Most of Cleveland's mistakes were mental errors. Golden State caught the Cavs napping with back cut after back cut, while also running it down their throats in transition. These mistakes didn't happen in the Christmas Day game.

The schedule was bound to turn tough for Cleveland eventually. Prior to this recent road trip, the Cavaliers hadn't traveled West of Memphis. They played the 10th easiest schedule of the season heading into Monday's match, per Basketball Reference, and it's beginning to catch up to them. This was their fourth loss in seven games.

Draymond and LeBron tangle

LeBron and Draymond must be so sick of one another.

Green could hardly help himself when James dramatically collapsed after the two collided in the second quarter. James stayed down after Green caught him with a clothesline, but Green wasn't buying it. He went so far as to mock James while the King was still picking himself up off the floor.

For those keeping count in this feud: There has been a stepover, a dirty punch, a ton of smack talk, and now this. Who knows what June will bring, but Green and James might want to save some techs just in case.

No help from Korver

Cleveland's newest import was a flop in his first showing against the Warriors.

Kyle Korver drilled three triples, but what should concern the Cavs is the amount of points he gave up the other way. Korver is a solid positional defender, but guarding the Warriors is an endless nightmare that demands absolute concentration.

The Warriors attacked Korver every chance they got. Whether it was Thompson, Stephen Curry, or Andre Iguodala, the Warriors preyed on the 35-year-old sharpshooter like hyenas on a dead carcass. Attacking Korver played a huge part in the Warriors' 78-point first half.

Given time to acclimate to his new teammates, Korver will naturally improve, but his lack of lateral quickness will be a problem for the Cavaliers regardless of schematics. Only two-way players can hold their own against the Warriors and Korver falls short of that distinction.
