" Draymond Green (second left) of the Golden State Warriors fouls LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second quarter of their NBA clash at Oracle Arena in Oakland Dalvin Tomlinson Black Jersey , California, on Monday. The Warriors eased to a 126-91 victory. ¡ª AFP

NOW, everybody can sit back for a few months and envision the possibility of another scintillating NBA Finals between Cleveland and Golden State.

LeBron James vs Stephen Curry for the third straight time, complete with the hard-nosed play of Draymond Green, dazzling dunks from Kevin Durant and sharp shooting from Kyrie Irving.

This regular-season round went to the Warriors Evan Engram Black Jersey , who dominated from the start on Monday ¡ª and it wasn¡¯t even close. The defending champions were dismantled on the very floor where they captured the franchise¡¯s first title last June.

Curry and his superstar supporting cast certainly looked ready to trade more postseason blows with Cleveland. The two-time reigning MVP hit five 3-pointers on the way to 20 points while matching his season best with 11 assists in Golden State¡¯s 126-91 rout of the Cavaliers.

¡°This is high-quality basketball, at its highest level,¡± Curry said in Oakland, California. ¡°These are the kinds of atmospheres that you live for. Whether you win or lose, regular season Will Hernandez Black Jersey , playoffs, whatever, that you can play in that kind of environment that¡¯s always fun.¡±

Klay Thompson scored 26 points with five 3s, and Green produced his third triple-double of the season with 11 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. He also equaled his career best with five blocks ¡ª and had another confrontation with King James in the process.

James had 20 points on 6-of-18 shooting and eight rebounds. But he and Green became the talk once more as their relationship again turned testy.

¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a rivalry Saquon Barkley Black Jersey ,¡± James reiterated. ¡°It¡¯s two great teams that have aspirations. I don¡¯t believe I¡¯ve ever had a rivalry in the NBA.¡±

Durant added 21 points, six rebounds, five assists and three blocks for the Warriors in a much-hyped matchup merely weeks after Golden State lost 108-109 in Cleveland on Christmas.

Irving ¡ª who hit game-winners against Golden State in the past two matchups, including the championship clincher ¡ª scored 17 points on an uncharacteristic day for the Cavaliers when they committed 15 turnovers to 11 assists.

The latest altercation between Green and James came with 6:55 left in the first half. Golden State led 52-35 when James collided with Green near midcourt, resulting in a flagrant 1 foul on Golden State¡¯s emotional All-Star. Green¡¯s arm extended across the upper body of James Authentic Kyle Lauletta Jersey , who went down hard and lay on the court. Green reacted by appearing to mock James for flopping.

With this one in the books, these teams are done with each other ¡ª for the time being. ¡°It¡¯s intense enough for two matchups,¡± Green said. ¡°If you want to play each other again, try to get to the NBA Finals. The fact you only play twice a year makes it even more exciting because you only have two cracks at it.¡±

Elsewhere on Monday, it was: Hawks 108 Authentic B.J. Hill Jersey , Knicks 107; Wizards 120, Trail Blazers 101; 76ers 113, Bucks 104; Pacers 98, Pelicans 95; Nuggets 125, Magic 112; Celtics 108 Authentic Lorenzo Carter Jersey , Hornets 98; Jazz 106, Suns 101; and Clippers 120, Thunder 98.

ATHENS, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Greek government has decided to hold the country's presidential election next week to put an end to political uncertainty, it was announced on Monday.

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras Authentic Landon Collins Jersey , Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos have consulted with outgoing President of the Hellenic Republic Karolos Papoulias for their decision to bring forward by two months the vote in the assembly, the government spokeswoman Sophia Voultepsi said in a written statement Monday.

The two ruling coalition partners have submitted an official request to parliament speaker Vangelis Meimarakis to accelerate the process, and the first round of vote will be held on Dec. 17, the statement stressed.

Incumbent 85-year old Papoulias' term expires in early March. Under the Greek Constitution the election of his successor should be set a month earlier the latest.

The conservative premier and his socialist coalition partner in a surprise move accelerated the procedure in order to boost the country's position in negotiations with the European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders over cooperation after the end of the Greek bailout program launched in May 2010.

The government had wanted to declare exit from the bailout this December, but due to delays in the final review of the program a two-month extension of the bailout was announced on Monday after a Eurogroup meeting in Brussels.

Within minutes came the Greek government's announcement on the date of the presidential election. The government aims to reach the table of talks with creditors in early January with a clear message of political stability Authentic Ereck Flowers Jersey , Voultepsi explained on Monday.

Under the Greek Constitution, the President of the Hellenic Republic is elected by a majority of at least 180 votes in the 300-seat assembly.

The rule was adopted in an effort to ensure that the head of state who holds a ceremonial role would enjoy broad support to represent all the Greek people. But in several cases in recent years opposition parties have used the process in an attempt to force snap elections.

In the first and second rounds, which according to the government's time schedule will be conducted on Dec. 17 and Dec. 23, a candidate must receive a two-thirds majority (200 votes). In the final third round which is set on Dec. 29 he or she must garner 180 votes (three-fifths majority).

Otherwise the parliament is dissolved in 10 days and national elections are called for a month later. Then the next president is elected by the new assembly.

Samaras' ruling coalition today holds 155 seats in the curre.
