Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving swatted Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s shot away in a big way.
For the better part of four games thus far in the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers have done a great job of making Stephen Curry every single time he touches the ball. It’s as if they know where he’s going with the ball and they don’t give him any room to do the ridiculous things on the court that he is used to doing.

In Game 4 on Friday night, Curry was once again being hounded by everyone guarding him and he had trouble with getting his shot off. On one occasion, Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving didn’t allow Curry to gain any separation from him and was able to make a huge block on him.
As Curry went up for the shot, Irving was right there to swat his shot like a volleyball player.
That block has been the story of the NBA Finals for Stephen Curry and there hasn’t been a series in these playoffs yet where he has looked so out of touch.
Give credit to Irving for making a huge play.
