None of them had hit -in the previous 3 games- 20 points. Not Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Well, in the fourth they totaled 63 points. Curry, tremendous performance with 38 points and Thompson with 25. The Splash Brothers put the Warriors on the verge of taking the ring.
Golden State victory 97-108 in Cleveland to be placed 3-1 in the Finals. Never a team has a 3-1 comeback in the NBA Finals. 32 times a squad has been 3-1 and 32 times that squad won the championship. A devastating thing for the Cavs, who lost their first home game in these playoffs at the most inopportune time.
Cleveland ended the game badly. Depleted physically. With gestures of impotence, such as those dispensed by LeBron James to Stephen Curry in the final stretch of the crash. No offensive capability. But before the last whistle, finally the only close game of the 2016 Finals. The best wager. Because the meeting had some stellar moments that pass from retina to the memory.
Some great moments from LeBron James, two Kyrie Irving moves at Curry shaped in a block and another crossover, some wonderful triples from winner in grace, Curry, the struggle on the offensive rebound from Tristan Thompson in the beginning, and the physical power of Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green as mortar to the triumph, Curry put the 89-98 to virtually kill the game, the scuffle between Green and LeBron, also in the final stretch.
At the end, the visitors victory with a 20-29 in the final quarter. Curry by 38 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 triples. With Thompson adding 25 with 4 triples. With significant support as secondaries Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala -excellent and crucial performance-and Harrison Barnes moments. Without a Leandro Barbosa on court, but with a James McAdoo as Steve Kerr surprise. Anyway, a champion team looking to double its success.
The Warriors rallied in the second half in the rebounder aspect, returning to the offensive rebound the damage that caused them in the first quarter by Tristan Thompson (tremendous intensity from Anderson Varejao small playing window).
