Cleveland Cavaliers sweeps off Golden State Warriors for Game 3, leaving the marks 2-1, respectively, with a final score of 96-91.
Bleacher Report details that the Cavs led 20 points with only a few minutes before the end of the third quarter; the Dubs caught redemption at the opening of the fourth quarter with a 25-9 run. Before the Dubs knew it, LeBron James was ready to give nine points in the last two minutes of the game, which secured his team's victory, Bleacher reports. Bleacher also confirms that James's show-stopping aggression earned himself 40 points on 14-of-34, 12 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and two blocks in the game, which left Cleveland fans at Quicken Loans Arena jumping off their seats.
Another Cavs star, Matthew Dellavedova, showed an incredible performance with 20 points under his record for Game 3. According to Fox Sports, Dellavedova faced off Dubs MVP Stephen Curry at the game's first half and finished with 20 points victoriously. Tristan Thompson made a difference in the game as well, earning 13 points and 13 boards, according to Bleacher.
The course was different for Stephen Curry. While Matthew Dellavedova cornered him heftily on the first half, Curry had hustled too late by shooting most from the fourth quarter, reports The Star. Despite the 20- to a one-point game by the Golden State in the near two-and-a-half-minute end of the game, the Cavs were just indisputable by slaying the fourth quarter with James's fair share of free throws to cut sharp their win. Curry didn't do bad with points, however. Bleacher reports him finishing with 27 points, six assists, and six turnovers. Andre Iguodala fearlessly contended James and played second best scorer for the Dubs with 15 points. Klay Thompson earned himself 14.
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr definitely has to watch out for Jame, and it proved really true in Game 3. 'We have to build our defensive game plan around LeBron because the ball's in his hands pretty much every possession, and we have to choose what we're going to do, and it's not necessarily going to be the same all the time,' coach Kerr said before the game, according to The Star.
