NBA聖誕大戰火星四濺 勇士1分惜敗騎士

The Cavaliers came back to beat the Golden State Warriors 109-108 on Sunday in a thrilling evocation of the end of last postseason's NBA Finals.

週日，繼去年總決賽之後，騎士隊又一次以驚心動魄的方式、以109比108的比分擊敗了金州勇士隊。

And again it was Kyrie Irving with crunch-time heroics, making a difficult shot, the game winner, in a furious contest for the Warriors.

凱里·歐文又一次在關鍵時刻成爲了英雄，投進了一個難度很大的投籃，在一場激烈的比賽後成爲了贏家。

"It's embarrassing, honestly," Klay Thompson told after the game. "Up 14 in the fourth quarter and we just played not very intelligent at all. We've got to help out KD. We put too much on his shoulders."

克雷·湯普森在賽後接受ESPN採訪時表示：“說實話，這實在太尷尬了。在第四節我們一度領先14分，可是隨後打得很不明智。我們應該幫助凱文·杜蘭特的。我們讓他承擔得太多了。”

Life does move on. There will be more chances at redemption, if only the Warriors can play smarter when it matters.

生活還要繼續向前。只要勇士隊能夠處理得更聰明一些，那麼他們還會有很多機會來雪恥。

"I wanted to beat them so badly, man," Thompson conceded, when asked if this was "just another game." "I want to beat them every time we play them. Obviously there's a history there. But we'll see them Jan. 16."

當被問及是否本場比賽是“另一種比賽”時，湯普森承認：“夥計，我真的想好好教訓他們一頓。每次遇到他們的時候，我都想擊敗他們。顯然這是有歷史原因的。1月16日，我們會再次交手的。”

This Christmas, the Warriors can feel snakebitten and fortunate all at once. They lost to the Cavs, again. They casually ceded hard-fought advantages, again. But there will be another "again," a couple weeks into 2017 and maybe later, in June. As used to be the motto in Cleveland, "There's always next year."

這個聖誕節，勇士全隊上下可能既會感到痛苦，又會感到幸運。他們又一次輸給了騎士隊，他們又一次隨隨便便的丟掉了來之不易的優勢。 但是，還會有另一個“又一次”，在進入2017年之後的幾周，也許是在更久之後的六月。就像克利夫蘭曾經的的座右銘一樣：“永遠還有來年。”
