Continued from Page 1
“It’s about a 663 page document. We review and update the plan and this is the year for us to do it again.”
The document is split up into easily manageable sections for quicker access.
“Shelter operations tab for example, I can click that tab
and give our shelter operations manager a section that pertains to them. It’s a lot less overwhelming this way.
Borger’s EOC’s response to an emergency would depend on the type of emergency that takes place since there
is the potential for different types of emergencies.
“Annadon Keys is our shelter operations manager since
she’s already out at the youth center. The city does not offer tornado shelter for it’s citizens, but shelter in this particular sense is geared towards disasters like a gas explosion or a wildfire that comes through and several people
are displaced. The housing shelter would be activated and
work would start on getting the Red Cross out here, but if
it’s a wide spread event, the Red Cross wouldn’t be able
to get here to help with shelter. So we are establishing
plans where we can be self sufficient, on our own. We
are adopting our shelter plans in line with the Red Cross’
standards.”
Whisler goes on to explain that if disaster happens,
there are designated places in Borger for shelters that is
specific to an area.
“That’s one thing we have to be fluid in. We adopt
these plans, like the youth center for example. If that’s the
area affected, the shelter might be transferred to one of the
churches if they are willing to open the doors to us or a
school gymnasium,” Whisler explains.
Any time there is a disaster, Whisler says the operations center will focus on priority things, like making sure
people have a way to know who’s in the shelter.
“Family and friends need to know who is there. We’re
working on different methods for that through a public information officer. Also, the Red Cross has an online registry so people can sign up and family can locate them,”
Whisler points out.
Pet shelters are another concern for the EOC. Pets are
not allowed in the same shelter as housing for people.
“That causes a lot of problems. In a perfect world, if
the youth center is used for a shelter, then we could utilize
the Dome for a pet shelter. This is a national standard.
Unless a pet is a certified service animal, they are not allowed in housing shelters. There are so many things to a
housing shelter. We are really focused on that right now.
The area that the cots are at, it has to be ADA compliant
to allow for wheelchair access, even if there is no one in a
wheelchair. We have to look at lessons learned. There’s so
much of this that comes after Katrina. We learn after big
disasters and mistakes that were made,” says Whisler.
With more rain than Borger normally sees lately,
Whisler says they keep a close eye on trouble spots.
“The area of Hazelwood, Stevens. That’s the worst
spot. The good thing is, we know for the most part where
Borger could flood. So that area is the first place we check.
The Hutchinson County Volunteer Fire Department is
very active in the county and city. They check and do a
quick assessment. Something we never saw before just a
couple weeks ago, there were parked cars being pushed
by the water over by the apartments. We had dumpsters
floating. We’ve not had flooding like that since I’ve been
here,” Whisler states.
EOC has future plans for notifications to reach citizens
in the quickest way possible, through cell phones. The Integrated Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS) uses cell
phone towers to send emergency notifications. The system
sends notifications to anyone traveling through the area
using cell towers in the Borger area and also to locals that
live here. Whisler believes this system can reach 80 percent of residents, thus providing more safety. Other plans
include setting up a work station identical to dispatch so
that if disaster hits, EOC can bring in a dispatcher to be
present and be right at home with the same radio console
and computer system to be as efficient as possible.
“This system, along with TV, radio warnings, we can
reach just about everyone,” he says.
The system takes time to put in place and could be running by the end of the year.
Emergency Management uses their Facebook page as
primary means of notifications. Periodically, information
gets posted on the City Hall page, however the OEM is
the primary page used for storm alerting and other notices.
Cable channel 11 is another outlet the EOC uses to notify
residents of situations.

Varsity choirs hold annual
awards and dance banquet
Johnny Miller,
BISD Choir Director
Submission
The 2016-2017 Borger
High School Varsity Choir
Council was recently elected. The Council members
had to have teacher and
director evaluations. This
coming year’s Council includes seniors Austin Saxon, Austin Ritchie, Lauren Gillespie, and Diana
Rodriguez; juniors Bubba
Wysong, Madai Montoya,
Kristen Baker, and Shelby Huffine; sophomores
Vianey Orona, Heaven
Acosta, Logan Calloway,
and Hope Sharp; freshmen
Kimbrea Weber, Mateo
Lopez, Deztiney Hemphill, and Kayleigh Watkins;
and eighth graders Mallee
Whitmire, Isabella Escobar, Brenna McDaniel, and
Verna Allen. Choir Council’s primary objective is to
lead the choir in unity behind the choir director.
The Texas Music Educator’s Associational Music

by Haley Vinyard, Mackenzie Garton, Flor Espino,
and Lauren Gillespie. Requirements for the award
are: A viable member of
the school’s parent musical
organization for the entire
school year. Maintains an
overall “A” average for the
entire school year. Maintains academic eligibility
for the entire school year.
Participates in all scheduled

UIL Prescribed Music List
Class I solo for competition. Consistently exhibits
behavior that brings honor
to the parent organization,
school, and community.
This year, the Borger
ISD Choir Program chose
to honor two of its outstanding senior choir students with the Emily Purcell Outstanding Choir
Member Award. This year
is the third presentation of
the award.
Purcell, who was involved with the choir program at BHS during her
time there, passed away
earlier this year after a
lengthy battle with leukemia.
She was known for her
many endearing qualities,
and she exemplified the
fruits of the spirit as laid
out in Galatians 5. These
are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
gentleness,
faithfulness,
and self-control.
The students chosen for
this award had to exemplify the following traits
that Purcell was known for
during her life. These traits
were respectful, faithful,
loyal, dependable, devoted,
supportive, encouraging,
dedicated, well-behaved,
positive, happy, friendly,
determined,
and…finally….the trait that most exemplified Purcell during
her cancer fight: FEARLESS.
The award was presented
by members of the Purcell
family at the Borger ISD
All Choir Concert earlier
this month. Honorees this
year were graduating seniors Cody McDaniel and
Haley Vinyard. Emily’s
legacy will continue with
this special award forever
named in her honor.
The 2016 All State
Choir Camp Scholarship
recipients were recently
named at the Choir Banquet. These students include Frankie Barraza, Flor
Espino, Kaden Farmer,
and Vianey Orona. The
Choir Camp Scholarships
are awarded yearly to students who express desire,
drive, and dedication to the
beginning of the All State
process by learning the
music before school starts.
This music is always very
challenging, and usually
consists of many foreign
languages.
The 2015-16 year for the
BHS varsity choirs was an
eventful one for sure, filled
with all-region contests,
many hours of preparation
in the fields of sight reading and concert music, two
successful choir contests,
and several concerts. However, there is no doubt this
was a year filled with beautiful music for the Borger
ISD choirs. BISD Director of Choral Arts Johnny
Miller is pleased with how
this year turned out, and
wishes his choir kids the
best in the years to come!

Many of us consider pets a member of the family,
but this does not always mean treating our pets like
humans. For example, there are many habits humans
choose to indulge in that can harm pets—including
smoking, drinking, and a lack of regular exercise. Unlike people, animals are unable to make the conscious
decision to participate in these habits. Although pets
may be considered a furry family member, it is important to remember our pets’ special needs and how
human behavior can impact their health.
In the past, the consequences of smoking were not
given much thought by those who smoked. However,
doctors and researchers began identifying a strong association with smoking and certain cancers in humans,
causing a wave of concern in recent generations.
Despite the concern of smoking negatively impacting human health, smoking is still a common habit. In
addition to harming humans, secondhand smoke can
contribute to the development of many diseases in pets.
Dr. Michael Ciepluch, lecturer at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences,
offered some insight.
“Secondhand smoke can be harmful to pets,” Ciepluch said. “Inhaled irritants, such as cigarette smoke,
aerosol sprays, and perfumes can contribute to the
development of chronic bronchial disease—similar to
asthma in humans—which requires lifelong medication. Cigarette smoke also contains carcinogens—
substances which can cause cancer. Recent veterinary
studies have identified a higher risk of certain cancers
in pets living in a smoking households compared to
non-smoking households. Bottom line: don’t expose
your pet to secondhand smoke—take it outside.”
Allowing your pet to safely join in on holiday celebrations is always fun, but sometimes it may be beneficial to keep an extra eye on your pet at the celebration or leave them at home. If your pet takes a few sips
of an alcoholic beverage that was left on the ground
or someone allowed your pet to taste their drink, the
consequences can be deadly.
“Alcohol is toxic to pets and humans at high doses
and alcohol toxicity is heavily dependent upon body
weight. Most pets weigh less than humans, so it takes
less alcohol to be toxic,” Ciepluch said. “Clinical signs
of alcohol toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, incoordination, central nervous system depression, difficulty
breathing, tremors, abnormal blood acidity, coma, and
even death.”
Sometimes pets mirror the bad habits of their owners, such as sitting on the couch all weekend. However,
just like in humans, being a couch potato and lacking
regular exercise can lead to conditions such as obesity. “Exercise and physical activity are critical for
both physical and mental well-being in our pets and
for overall longevity,” Ciepluch said. “Pet obesity is a
growing problem in the United States. In fact, in 2014,
50 to 60 percent of dogs and cats were overweight or
obese. Obesity takes a toll on bones and joints, and
daily activity and exercise can help prevent or correct
weight gain in pets. Maintaining a lean, healthy body
condition allows pets to remain active and comfortable even into the later years of life. On the other hand,
older and overweight or obese pets often have a much
harder time getting around the house, let alone being
active, because the chronic extra weight on their joints
with each step accelerates the development of arthritis.”
Even if you notice your pet is experiencing soreness from a condition such as arthritis, it is not safe
to treat your pet with over-the-counter pain relievers.
If your pet needs treatment for pain, Ciepluch recommended pain medications that have been approved for
use in pets by the FDA. “While it is tempting to give
something to your pets to help with pain, pet owners
frequently do much more harm than good with overthe-counter at-home pain remedies,” Ciepluch said.
“There are many NSAIDs and other pain medications
available for pets that have undergone extensive safety
studies and have been approved for use in pets by the
FDA. If you are ever in doubt, call your veterinarian or
a local emergency veterinary clinic.”
Pet health is a reflection of the care pets are given.
The safety of pets relies entirely on the actions of owners and the choices they make. Consult your veterinarian if you have any concern for your pet’s health and
safety.

Ex teacher warned to
stay away from students
HOUSTON (AP) — A judge has ordered a former
Houston-area teacher to stay away from minors and
have no contact with a boy with whom she maintained
a sexual relationship that resulted in her pregnancy.
Twenty-four-year-old Alexandria Vera appeared
in court Friday to learn the conditions of her release
from jail after earlier posting a $100,000 bond. She’s
charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child.
Vera was an English teacher in the Aldine school
district and the boy was a 13-year-old she met last
summer. She’s since been fired.

ASTROGRAPH
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Something unexpected will interrupt your home routine today. Small
appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur. Be patient
with family members in order to keep
the peace.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
This is an accident-prone day
for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Before you
speak, count to three, and keep your
eyes open! This puts you in control.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
Today you might find money, or
you might lose money. Stay in touch
with your bank account. Guard your
possessions against loss or theft, because today is a crapshoot.
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Your plans regarding sports events,
parties or a fun escape might be interrupted because a parent, boss or police
person intervenes. (Oops!) Just be
aware of this.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
This is a restless day for you.
You’re not sure whether to act or wait,
because things are unpredictable. (It
never hurts to first find out which way
the wind is blowing.)
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
A friend likely will surprise you by
doing something you don’t expect today. Or possibly, you will meet someone new who is bohemian, unorthodox
or just weird.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
It’s hard to predict people in authority today -- parents, bosses, VIPs
and the police. Just be aware that someone is going to throw you a curveball.
Forewarned is forearmed.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Travel plans will change today;
they might be canceled or rescheduled.
On the other hand, you suddenly might
have a fresh opportunity to travel. Yay!
S
AGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Something unexpected might affect discussions about inheritances,
taxes, debt and shared property. Stay
in touch with your bank account so you
know what’s happening.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
A friend or spouse might want more
freedom in the relationship. Someone
close will do something today that surprises you. Expect an unusual request
from someone close to you.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Your work routine will be interrupted by canceled meetings, power
outages, fire drills, computer crashes
-- something. A co-worker might do
something that surprises you. (Yes, it’s
going to be that kind of day.)
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
This is a mildly accident-prone day
for your kids, so be vigilant. This also
is an accident-prone day for sports.
Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change.

Frank Phillips College
Girls Basketball Camps
Frank Phillips College Head Women’s Basketball Coach
Eric Rodewald will host three basketball camps from
Monday, June 27th through Thursday, June 30th on the
Frank Phillips Campus at the Borger Community Activity
Center. The three camps are divided according to grade.
Little Plainsmen Camp is 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for
Girls entering Kindergarten-3rd Grade. Cost of the camp is
$35 for the week.
Intermediate Camp is 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for Girls
when I'm singing, it doesn't sound like Mickey Mouse
with a sore throat."
"The Louisville Lip (He's the Greatest)"
Memphis singer-songwriter Eddie Curtis used a
funky blues track to tell Ali's story, with digs at Floyd
Patterson, Liston and other Ali foes. The song came
out in 1971, soon before Ali lost to Joe Frazier in 15
rounds at Madison Square Garden, quickly dating some
of the lyrics: "He's the greatest, he's the greatest," Curtis
chants, "don't you know it, Joe Frazier."
"Black Superman (Muhammad Ali)"
A mid-tempo reggae ballad by British artist Johnny
Wakelin, released in early 1975 as a tribute to Ali's
recent victory over George Foreman in the "Rumble in
the Jungle" in Zaire. Wakelin sings some of Ali's own
rhymes and adds original lines such as "He moves like
the black superman/and calls to the other guy/I'm Ali/
catch me if you can."
"8ieme Round"
Another homage to Ali's knockout of Foreman,
a catchy work of African pop music by Zaire's Trio
Madjesi and Orchestre Sosoliso.
Goodbye to The Greatest: Even weak, Ali had imposing stature
It was 1980 and Muhammad Ali had no business
being in the ring against a younger and stronger Larry
Holmes, no matter how much his entourage kept telling
him how good he looked in training.
And he did look good. He had lost nearly 40 pounds to
get his body to a reasonable replication of its magnificent
prime. At the age of 38 he had also grown a mustache to
show off during the prefight press tour.
"I'm Dark Gable," Ali said, much to the delight of the
writers who could barely conceal their glee in having
Ali in front of them once again.
It was my first Ali fight and, like most of the 25,000
in the crowd outdoors at Caesars Palace that night, I
hoped against hope I would see the Ali of old in the
ring. He had convinced me, just as he convinced others,
that there was one more fight left in him, one more
heavyweight belt to wrap around his waist.
When Ali talked, we all listened. We couldn't bear
not to listen, even when his greatness had obviously
faded and the words that electrified a generation didn't
flow quite as easily as they once did.
Surely he could beat Holmes, his former sparring
partner. This, after all, was a man who whipped the
scowling Sonny Liston, stopped the fearsome George
Foreman in Africa and won a battle nearly to the death
with Joe Frazier in the Philippines.
But the one opponent Ali couldn't beat was Father
Time. He barely laid a glove on Holmes, taking such a
beating that Holmes begged the referee several time to
stop the fight so he wouldn't permanently damage his
idol. The fight was finally stopped after 10 rounds, with
Ali sitting on a stool, offering no resistance.
Later that night Holmes paid a visit to Ali's hotel
suite. In a darkened room, he leaned over and, kissed
Ali on the cheek and told him he loved him.
"Then why did you whip my ass like that?" Ali
replied.
There weren’t many bad nights like that for Ali in a
pro career that spanned the better part of two decades.
Still, his willingness to take punches in the ring — he
estimated at one point he had taken 29,000 blows to the
head — would soon doom him to a life of living with
the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s.
It hardly seemed possible then that this exquisitely
sculptured man would spend his later years stooped over
and trembling, unable to do the basic human tasks like
tie his shoes or brush his teeth. Even more impossible
was that the voice that roared so loud and so often would
be nearly mute for the last few decades of his life.
It wasn’t just the things he said about his opponents
that were so memorable, though they were. I mean,
who else could possibly come up with this line before
meeting Liston for the heavyweight title in 1964 in the
biggest fight of his young life?
“The crowd did not dream when they lay down their
money that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny,”
Ali said.
Or this before he upset Foreman in the Rumble in the
Jungle in Zaire.
“Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone,
hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine
sick.”

‘The Greatest Love of All’ among songs inspired by Ali
NEW YORK (AP) — Before he was even heavyweight
champion or had changed his name from Cassius Clay,
Muhammad Ali was a force in the music world. He had
befriended Sam Cooke and released an album featuring
his comic poetry and a cover of the hit "Stand By Me."
But starting in the mid-1960s, Ali himself would inspire
songs of all kinds, from all over the world. Here are
some notable releases about Ali:
"The Greatest Love of All"
Written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed for
a movie few remember, the 1977 Ali biopic "The
Greatest," this soaring, self-affirming ballad would
conquer the world, first as a hit for George Benson, then
as a standard performed by Whitney Houston.
"'Cassius Love' vs. 'Sonny' Wilson"
A 1964 comedy track by the Beach Boys that spoofed
the Ali-Sonny Liston rivalry. Snippets of the band's hit
songs were interspersed with insults exchanged between
lead singers Mike Love and Brian Wilson, cousins who
would feud for real in subsequent years. "Listen Mike,
with a voice like yours, when you open your mouth it's a
big putdown," Wilson cracks. Answers Love: "At least

Kevin Love leaves Game 2
in 3rd quarter with concussion
OAKLAND,
Calif.
(AP)
—
Cleveland
Cavaliers forward Kevin
Love was knocked out of
Game 2 of the NBA Finals
with a concussion.
He left early in the
third quarter, long after
he was struck on the back
of the head by an elbow
from Warriors forward
Harrison Barnes in the
second quarter.
Love lay on the court
for several minutes and
was looked at on the
bench during the ensuing
timeout. But he remained
in the game and was able
to start the third quarter.
The Cavaliers say he did
not exhibit symptoms
right away.
Love has five points
on 2-for-7 shooting in
20 minutes. He has been
placed into the NBA's
concussion protocol, and
his status for Game 3 on
Wednesday night is most
unclear.

Seattle left fielder double-pumped with
his glove as speedy Texas baserunner Elvis Andrus trotted off third before sprinting for home.
Andrus beat the half-lob throw, setting
up Jurickson Profar's tiebreaking single
in a 3-2 victory Sunday that gave the
Rangers a three-game sweep of the Mariners in a series that started with the teams
tied atop the AL West.
"I'm not quite sure what he was thinking there," Seattle manager Scott Servais said. "When you let down a little bit
mentally, it will get you. That's what it is
for me, more the mental mistake, not so
much the errors."
The Mariners led 2-1 when Bobby
Wilson lifted the flyball to shallow left.
Andrus switched from trot to sprint just s
Romero was about to loft the ball in. The
throw skipped past catcher Chris Iannetta
as Andrus slid head-first across the plate.
"First instinct was he's probably going to fake break or something," Romero
said. "He wasn't running or anything. He
was just nonchalant. That's when I was
going to throw it. The second time is
when I saw him take off, and I was just
trying to throw it in."
The three-run burst in the fifth inning,
which included two errors and two unearned runs, sent Texas to its 12th win in
15 games.
"We talk about the freebies," said
manager Jeff Banister, whose team is an
AL-best 34-22. "I know early on in the
season, we were aggressive in certain situations and it seemed to cost us. But the
one thing that we never shy away from is
to continue to stay aggressive, push the
envelope."
Derek Holland (5-4) allowed two runs
— on former teammate Nelson Cruz's
two-run homer in the fourth — with six
strikeouts in seven innings, both season
highs for the left-hander. Closer Sam Dy-
Profar, who had two singles, now has
hits in all nine games with a .390 average
in the leadoff spot since he was recalled
from Triple-A Round Rock to fill in for
Rougned Odor during the second baseman's seven-game suspension.
Odor's return Saturday prompted Profar's move to DH to replace struggling
slugger Prince Fielder, who is hitting .187
with one homer in his past 39 games.
Hisashi Iwakuma (4-5) gave up four
hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings, allowing just one earned run after a nine-game stretch in which Seattle
starters had a 9.33 ERA.
"He was rolling until they made an
error and we made him pay," said Profar, the former top prospect who missed
the past two major league seasons with
shoulder problems.
Odor, in his second game back from
the suspension for punching Toronto's
Jose Bautista in a May 15 brawl, started
the decisive inning by sliding past the
diving tag of first baseman Dae-Ho Lee
on a bunt single.
Andrus reached on shortstop Luis Sardinas' error and went to third on Jared
Hoying's RBI single. After Andrus' mad
dash that also moved Hoying to second,
Romero overran Profar's single for an error when he charged the ball trying to set
up for a throw to get Hoying.
"They beat us the first two games.
Today we lost the game, defense," Cruz
said. "You don't have to be sorry for us.
We got to step up and tomorrow figure
out how to win games."
SWEPT AWAY
The Mariners have now been swept
by three AL West rivals. Oakland and the
Los Angeles Angels did it in Seattle. By
dropping the first two games in Texas,
the Mariners lost a road series for the first
time this season.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The
Denver Broncos say star cornerback Aqib
Talib is recovering after being shot in the
lower right leg at a Dallas nightclub early
Sunday morning.
Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said
the team has been in touch with the cornerback and that he's doing OK.
"We are in communication with Aqib
Talib, who remains at a Dallas hospital for observation as he recovers from
a gunshot wound suffered to his lower
right leg on Sunday. He is expected to be
released from the hospital soon, and we
are glad he is OK and will make a full recovery," the Broncos said in a statement
released Sunday evening.
"Our organization has been in touch
with the NFL on this matter, and we will
provide additional updates as appropriate."
Last week, Talib said he was looking
forward to the trip Monday to the White
House, where President Barack Obama
will honor the Broncos for winning the
Super Bowl. It's unknown if Talib will
still be able to make the trip.
The Broncos' three-day mandatory
minicamp starts Tuesday.
Police told The Dallas Morning News
that Talib was one of two people shot in
an altercation at the Vlive club and that
both victims were hospitalized with nonlife-threatening wounds.
Broncos cornerback Kayvon Webster
tweeted, "My boy Talib is fine thanking
man upstairs!"
Along with fellow Pro Bowl cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and Bradley Roby,
Talib makes up what's considered by
many the best cornerback crew in the
NFL. His 30 interceptions and eight pick6s are tops in the league since 2008, his
rookie year in Tampa Bay.
Talib is entering his ninth NFL season
and third in Denver. He signed a sixyear, $57 million contract in 2014 that
includes a base salary of $8.5 million for
this upcoming season and a roster bonus
of nearly $500,000.
Last year he made $5.5 million minus
one game check of $323,529 after being
suspended for deliberately poking an Indianapolis Colts player in the eye after a
play the previous week.
Talib finished the season with 45 tackles, 13 pass breakups and three interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns, in earning his third consecutive
Pro Bowl berth.
He helped shut down Carolina's vaunted offense in the Super Bowl, breaking
up two of Cam Newton's passes and collecting five tackles in Denver's 24-10
win. He also drew a pair of personal foul
penalties in that game, for taunting and
face mask fouls in the second quarter that
resulted in fines totaling $26,044.
OAKLAND,
Calif.
(AP) — The Latest on
Game 2 of the NBA Finals
between the Golden State
Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers (all times
local):
Draymond
Green
scored 28 points, Stephen
Curry added 18 and the
Golden State Warriors ran
away in the second half to
beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-77 in Game 2 of
the NBA Finals on Sunday
night.
Klay Thompson added
17 for the Warriors, who
led by eight at the half before turning it into a blowout. The Warriors lead the
series 2-0. Of the previous
31 teams to lead the title
series 2-0, 28 went on to
win the title.
Cleveland lost Kevin
Love in the third quarter
to a concussion, putting
his status for Game 3 on
Wednesday in Cleveland
in serious doubt. LeBron
James had a team-best 19
points for the Cavaliers,
who have now lost seven
consecutive games to the
Warriors.
It's the first time James
has ever lost seven straight
to the same opponent.
Starting forward Kevin
Love remains away from
the bench after taking himself out of the game early
in the third quarter, and
the Cavaliers are hurting
on the floor as well. Golden State leads 82-62 going
into the final 12 minutes of
Game 2, looking for a 2-0
edge in the NBA Finals.
Of the 31 teams who
have won the first two
games of The Finals, 28
have gone on to win the
championship.
Draymond Green is
carrying Golden State,
with 28 points — his bestscoring game ever in The
Finals. Klay Thompson
has 17 points and Stephen Curry has 15 despite
missing much of the third
quarter with foul trouble
for the Warriors.
LeBron James leads
Cleveland with 19 points.
Cleveland’s
Kevin
Love took himself out of
the game early in the third
quarter and went to the
locker room, and Golden
State’s Stephen Curry just
picked up his fourth foul
with 8:42 left in the quarter.
