Here's a fun picture from the first half of Game 2 of the NBA Finals. 

The Cavs, battered and bruised without Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, stepped up their defensive intensity and held the Golden State Warriors to 45 points in the first half. More importantly, they held Stephen Curry to just 8 points on 2 of 10 shooting in that same amount of time. And how does a team hold the best shooter in the game to such pedestrian stats like that? By quadruple-teaming him, of course!

Actually, this was just one instance, but it's fairly hilarious to look at. LeBron James, Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson all go to trap Curry in the corner. The Cavs have also thrown part man/part squirrel Matthew Dellavedova at Curry, and he's slowed himself down significantly.
