The Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Golden State Warriors on Monday in an NBA Finals repeat matchup that was chock-full of excitement and highlights.

Here are the 10 best plays from Golden State's 118-108 victory at Quicken Loans Arena:

10. Isaiah Thomas shakes off Stephen Curry, banks in floater to end 3rd

"It's tough to play against (Curry), but at the same time he's got to guard up, too," Thomas said Sunday. True.

9. LeBron James denies Curry

James didn't stop after the block, continuing to hound the fellow multi-time MVP for the ball.

8. Curry dances and drills step-back 3-pointer over James

Been cookin' with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot, boy.

7. Isaiah lobs it up to LeBron for ruthless reverse alley-oop slam

Can't fault Cleveland fans for getting giddy over this budding connection.

6. David West throws down old-man dunk over Tristan Thompson

West is only 37 years young.

5. Curry cuts to rim for rare two-handed dunk

It's just the 25th jam of his nine-year career.

4. Isaiah sucks up defense and sets up LeBron for another rim-rocker

Just toss it up anywhere near the rim, and James will take care of the rest.

3. Dwyane Wade with the steal and gorgeous feed to Jeff Green for flashy jam

This bucket not only blew the roof off The Q, but it gave the Cavaliers a seven-point halftime lead - their largest over the Warriors since James returned to Cleveland.

2. Durant intercepts pass, throws down vicious tomahawk slam

James was wise to get out of the way.

1. LeBron erases Durant's layup attempt with chase-down block

LeBron really enjoys doing that to them, huh?
