"I think that experience of going through that definitely makes us closer and a lot tougher," Warriors starting forward Draymond Green, who played for over 40 minutes in the game while contributing both in offensive and defensive ends for the Dubs, said. "That wasn't an easy series by any means. Then coming down and coming back from down 3-1, it gives you a certain amount of confidence."

The Oakland-based team is hoping to replicate it spectacular game performance against the Cavaliers. The reserves of Golden State outscored the bench of the Wine and Gold 45-10 in the opener of this finals rematch.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are looking to even the series and bring along the positive effect of a momentum shift when the series transitions to Ohio for the Games 3 and 4. The Cav's big three  LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love - are expected to be more aggressive.

"There's good things that can come from it and feeling like your back is up against the wall," Love said. "Then you have to push back and fight. I think we've been a team that has kind of thrived in, I don't know if chaos is the right word, but thrived in adversity and been able to bounce back. We're going to look to Sunday as definitely a bounce-back game and try to go 1-1 back to Cleveland."
