OK Dub Nation, let’s move past JR Smith’s late-game blunder, for now, and focus on the keys to a Warriors victory Sunday night.

It starts with making life harder for LeBron James. The 33-year-old James scored 51 points on Thursday night in Oakland to go along with eight rebounds and eight assists. He did all this at a high volume, too, making 59 percent of his shots (19-32), 43 percent of his triples (3-7) and 91 percent of his free throws (10-11).

He started 6-6 from the floor and scored 24 points in the first half, all while making it look effortless.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr stressed his frustration with The King’s incredible Game 1 performance.

“I didn’t think we made him work hard enough,” Kerr said Saturday. “I thought everything was smooth sailing for him.”

There’s no stopping James, for the record. But what Kerr and company can do is make James give up the ball more.

Send more double teams his way, clog the lane when he wants to attack the basket and force him to beat them from the perimeter.

“We’ve got to put more pressure on him. We can’t just sit back and let him pick us apart,” Kerr added.

On countless occasions, James called for screens to get mismatches in his favor and draw the smaller Steph Curry onto him as well as the slower Kevon Looney and David West.

And it worked.

This is where Andre Iguodala’s absence truly hurts Golden State, and he’s out again for a seventh-straight game.

Draymond Green, the catalyst of the Dubs’ defense, know how his group can defend James better, but also understands that LeBron is going to be LeBron.

“We got to come out next game and have more resistance against him to start the game,” Green said. “He’s still going to make some shots, that’s why he is who he is. But some of them, if you play great defense, you can live with.”

Can LeBron go for 50-plus again tonight? Absolutely. But he could do so and see the same result as Game 1. The Cavs need other guys to step up.

Aside from Kevin Love’s 21 points, no other Cleveland players scored more than JR Smith’s 10.

The Warriors just need to trust the defense that has led them to four-straight NBA Finals and two championships.

Offensively, it’s simple: push the ball, and keep moving the ball.

The Dubs thrive when they get out and run and knock down transition threes from the likes of Curry and Klay Thompson, who combined for 53 points and 10 threes (five each) in Game 1.

And while Klay is set likely to play tonight with a high ankle sprain, it’s unclear how he will fair.

He seemed to move well for the most part after a scary moment in the first half of Game 1 where he was undercut by the Cavs JR Smith.

Splash Bros aside, look for Kevin Durant to have a more efficient game while taking better shots.

The reigning Finals MVP had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists on Thursday which many considered “an off night” for the world’s second-best player.

If that’s an off the night, the Warriors will be fine, because Durant will adjust and improve game-by-game.

“If I come into the game knowing and being prepared for anything, then I can conquer it,” Durant said Saturday. “But that goes back to just being locked in to start.”
