Ok, just needed to double check, now I'll present my thesis. Witnessing the Warriors myself, they want to run you to death. It doesn't necessarily matter who's in foul trouble, because they have 3 all stars if they lose one. All these lengthy breaks have served as not only free timeouts for the Cavs so they get extra time to rest, but it also serves as a pacebreaker for the Warriors who want play to continue constantly and run run RUN. That's how the Warriors are built, and since the Cavs rely on ISO play, a technique that is normally slower as compared to the Warriors, these breaks in a way have actually sort of helped them.
Curry and Thompson have been off, but I'm coming to a realization after witnessing play similarly to the Wolves. In that game there was constant fouls that served as pacebreakers, and since Curry and Thompson play well in transition, these breaks inherently throw off their game.
