Cleveland Cavaliers owner trolls Warriors on Twitter (Photo)

The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to get ahead in the NBA Finals, and owner Dan Gilbert is living up the Game 2 win while it lasts. 

The NBA Fianls got really interesting in Game 2 when the Cleveland Cavaliers stormed back to win their first NBA Finals game with LeBron James in franchise history. It was pretty amazing watching the best player on the planet — someone who has accomplished so much — accomplish something for the first time in his career.

He almost didn’t get it though, as the officials were slammed throughout the game for their non-calls and the way the game was refereed. Still, it opened up the door to some pretty hilarious burns from all comers, including the owner of one of the teams.

Before Game 2 on Tuesday night, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert took to Twitter so he could troll the Warriors out of town.

The 20 percent isn’t really a reference to anything, although it could have been a double burn against Steph Curry’s bad night against Matthew Dellavedova had Gilbert really thought about this one. But the burn is still sick, as the Warriors are the butt of a lot of jokes after they looked mortal against the Cavaliers and benefited from a bevy of non-calls in Game 2.

It still wasn’t enough to win, and the Cavaliers evened the series in epic fashion. If nothing else, it was proven in Game 2 that we’re in for one heck of a series. Of course, trolling owners only heighten the stakes more so than they already were and Dan Gilbert trash talking will motivate more than one player on the Warriors in Game 3.
