The Golden State Warriors have put themselves in a commanding position in the NBA Finals after securing a Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers to take a 2-0 lead.A 122-103 victory at Oracle Arena on Sunday night sees the defending champions put one hand on the Larry O'Brien trophy already and move a step closer to a second consecutive title.Like Game 1, Stephen Curry was their star man once again in the second encounter as he put on another offensive show.The two-time MVP finished with a game-high 33 points on 11-of-26 shooting from the field. He wasn't far off from a triple-double as he added eight assists and seven rebounds.The Cavs had no answer for the superstar point guard as he had his way for most of the night.Unsurprisingly, most of his work was done from beyond the arc as he produced a record-breaking shooting night.The 30-year-old knocked down nine of 17 from downtown and set the mark for the most three-pointers in a single NBA Finals game.It became clear midway through the fourth quarter that it was a special night for the sharpshooter as he sank a truly outrageous three.With Kevin Love switched onto him, Curry put the moves on the Cavs big man but was barely given any room as the shot clock was quickly winding down.The Warriors superstar was forced to throw up a fadeaway desperation three-point heave as the clock expired but incredibly got it to fall at the buzzer.

There was simply nothing more Love could've done on the play as he defended it perfectly and made Steph take the toughest possible shot at that moment.

But when you're the greatest shooter on the planet, no shot is too difficult to make. It was such a high-arching shot that it just didn't seem possible that it would go in.

This bucket put an end to a mini-run the Cavaliers put together and demoralised the visitors. It also energised the home team and allowed them to close the game out.

"A big moment where we had a significant lead, we could extend it a little bit and create some separation down the stretch," Curry said, per ESPN's Chris Haynes. "It was a cool moment for sure."

Shots like this have almost become routine for the five-time All-Star and he continues to prove why many consider him as the best shooter of all time.

His performances in the opening two games have also made him the favourite to receive his first Finals MVP award and add another honour to his glittering resume.
