Jugando sin su titular Kevin Love, quien fue obligado a perderse el partido despues de sufrir un codazo en la cabeza en el segundo partido, por los ptotocolos de la liga, Los Cavaliers tuvieron un alto rendimiento en todas sus unidades especialmente Tyronn Lue quien salio desde el banco y fue clave en el ultimo cuarto.
Los Cavaliers lograron frenar a Golden State gracias al liderasgo de Lebrom James con 32 puntos con 11 bloqueos y 6 asistencias.
Los 30 puntos se diferencia dejan claro a Golden State que no sera facil repetir titulo y que Cleveland mantiene sueños de titulo.
After dropping the two first games of the NBA Finals in convincing fashion the Cavaliers resoundingly turned the tables – dominating the Warriors from wire-to-wire, 120-90, to cut Golden State’s series lead to 2-1 with Game 4 set for Friday night in Cleveland.
Playing without starting forward Kevin Love – who was forced to miss the matchup after taking an elbow to the head in Game 2 and failed to clear the NBA’s concussion protocol on Wednesday afternoon – the Cavaliers were in high-gear from the opening tip and didn’t take their foot off the gas until Tyronn Lue emptied his bench late in the fourth quarter.
The Cavaliers team that dropped the previous two games by a combined 48 points was nowhere in sight on Wednesday – running out to a 19-4 lead and bumping their edge to 20 points before the end of one quarter.
With Love sidelined, the other two-thirds of the Big Three were outstanding – with LeBron James notching his second 30-point game of the season and Kyrie Irving tallying number four. Tristan Thompson had his best game of the postseason and J.R. Smith snapped out of a funk that spanned two Finals.
LeBron led everyone with 32 points – going 14-of-26 from the floor to go with 11 boards, six assists, two blocked shots and a steal. James was in attack mode from the moment he broke the pregame huddle, imploring his squad to follow his lead
