Cleveland Cavaliers extended the series to Game 5.
Golden State Warriors was never given a chance to take the lead during the game.
They are unstoppable. Cleveland Cavaliers spoiled a sweep playoffs series attempt by the Golden State Warriors. The Dynamic Duo of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and the whole Cavs team stopped the Warriors on taking the NBA 2017 Championship on their home court. It was a night of raining 3 pointers shot from the Cavs as they slaughtered the Warriors to take a comfortable lead from the start of the 1st quarter. Since then, they never looked back as the warriors poor performance was capitalized by the Cavs.
Kevin Love’s hot hand on the 3 point paint continues to marginalized the Cavs lead. It was a game with a lot of technical calls, losing temper , records and stats being broken, so physical, so frustrating on the losing team but this is what they play for. Another shot at the championship for Warriors as they bring back the game on their homeland in Oracle Arena on Monday night.
