LEBRON James and the Cleveland Cavaliers sent a message to the Golden State Warriors yesterday: Not in our house.

And LeBron hammered home the message to Steph Curry, letting the two-time MVP know that they won’t let him get his below-par NBA Finals on track.

When Steph went up for a dead-ball dunk after the whistle had blown, LeBron swatted it away and stared him down.

LeBron finished with 32 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in the Cavs’ 120-90 win. Plus two official blocks and one big unofficial one.

Steph had 19 points on 6-of-13 shooting but was only 3 of 9 on 3’s with six turnovers. And unofficially, *nothing* at the rim, courtesy of LeBron.

“When you have the greatest shooter in the world trying to get an easy one, or trying to get in rhythm, it’s our job to try to keep him out, no matter if it’s after the whistle or not,” LeBron said.
