Even when all those long-range shots aren't falling like usual, the defending-champion Golden State Warriors showed they are quite comfortable grinding out wins.

Draymond Green had 22 points and 15 rebounds and the Warriors got defensive in their NBA Finals rematch against Cleveland, beating the Cavaliers 89-83 on Friday.

''It's good to have [url=http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-21-roger-clemens-jersey.html... of those every so often,'' guard Stephen Curry said. ''If our defense shows up, we're in pretty good shape to win games. We just show our versatility and try to win different ways.''

Curry added 19 points, Klay Thompson had 18, and the Warriors improved to 28-1 by winning their 32nd straight regular-season home game. Instead of doing it with 3-pointers, defending champion Golden State maintained its edge over Cleveland by limiting the Cavaliers to 32 percent shooting.

The Warriors were held under 100 points at home for the first time in more than a year in the regular season, [url=http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-55-russell-martin-jersey.htm... it happened five times in the playoffs.

''It's good to practice and get experience in that type of game as well where it's low scoring, getting stops, knocking down free throws and executing in the half court,'' interim coach Luke Walton said. ''It's great experience for us.''

LeBron James scored 25[url=http://www.officialnationalsshop.com/authentic-47-gio-gonzalez-jersey.htm... Gonzalez Jerseypoints to lead the Cavaliers. They had their six-game winning streak snapped.

''We gave ourselves a chance,'' James said. ''If we play like that defensively, we're going to be a very tough team to beat. Offensively, we just didn't have it. No one had it.''

The Cavaliers were short-handed when they lost the final to the Warriors in six games, missing[url=http://www.officialnationalsshop.com/authentic-28-jayson-werth-jerse... forward Kevin Love the entire series with a shoulder injury and losing point guard Kyrie Irving to a knee injury late in the first game.

Having both those players healthy for the rematch did little to help Cleveland. Love scored just 10 points on 5-for-16 shooting, and Irving missed 11 of 15 shots in a 13-point game.

With those two struggling, the Warriors built a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter following a jumper by Thompson and a layup from Green.

But James responded with a pair of dunks and a blocked shot on Thompson before Love's tip-in made it 81-77 with just over 2 minutes to play.
