Steph Curry helped Golden State take a 2-0 lead over Cleveland in the NBA finals and celebrated by swapping shirts with Neymar.

The NBA's regular season MVP scored 18 points in a 110-77 stroll that put the Warriors on course for a second straight finals success.

And Curry's Brazilian team-mates Leandro Barbosa and Anderson Varejao afterwards introduced him to the Barcelona star as the pair posed for photographs.

Curry was quick to warn that the job is not yet done for Golden State, despite a dominant performance and the fact only three of the previous 31 teams to lead 2-0 have failed to win the finals series.

"There's no point in celebrating or jumping up and down saying 'look at us,'" he said. "We're two games away from winning a championship, but we still have to go out and get the job done.

"It's a trap to think that we've figured things out, that we have the perfect formula to beat Cleveland and they have no chance in the series. That's not how we're supposed to think."

The Cavaliers have now lost seven straight games against the Warriors and LeBron James, who top-scored for his side with 19 points, pulled no punches afterwards.

"They just beat us," he said. "We didn't win anything. No points of the game did we beat them in anything."

Draymond Green had 28 points for the Warriors, while the Cavs' Kevin Love is a doubt for the third game after taking a blow to the head in the third quarter.
