Cleveland—La marca perfecta en postemporada de los Golden State llegó a su final en casa de los Campeones reinantes de la NBA.
Los Warriors, que tenian lista la celebración, trasladan todo a casa para intentar cerrar en el quinto juego.
LeBron James tuvo marca de triple-doble, Kyrie Irving anoto 40 puntos y los Cavaliers para la victoria 137-116, acabando con el invicto de 15 victorias consecutivas de Golden State en Postemporada.
Con esa actuacion ahora no hay seguridad de que la serie pueda concluir en California el lunes en el quinto partido de la serie, Golden State esta 3-1.
Los Cavaliers anotaron 86 puntos en la primera mitad, todo un Record de postemporada. Pero ningun equipo a podido recuperarse de un 3-0 en contra y ganar el titulo de la NBA. Pero tambien es cierto que hasta que Cleveland lo consiguiera la temporada pasada, nincgun equipo se habia recuperado de un deficit de 3-1, para ganar la final.
CLEVELAND (AP) Golden State’s perfect postseason is over, the champagne corks still in their bottles.
The Warriors had planned to party, to pay back Cleveland.
Everything’s on hold in the NBA Finals. The comeback Cavaliers are at it again.
LeBron James recorded a triple-double, Kyrie Irving scored 40 points and the Cavs, bothered by chatter from Golden State’s players, broke scoring records while outperforming the NBA’s most electrifying offense in a testy Game 4 filled with technical fouls Friday night, beating the Warriors 137-116 and snapping their 15-game playoff winning streak.
But it’s one they had to have, and a series that wasn’t living up to its hype and seemed headed for a quick conclusion is California bound for Game 5 on Monday night.
The Cavs scored a Finals record 86 points in the first half and then held on during a wild third and fourth quarter that included technical fouls, James jawing with fellow superstar Kevin Durant and Cleveland’s crowd roaring like a jet engine.
No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs.
But until the Cavs did it last year, no team had ever rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win the Finals. Cleveland took Game 3 at home, lost Game 4 and then won the final three – Game 7 in Oakland – to capture the city’s first sports championship since 1964.
As the final seconds ticked off, Cleveland fans chanted »Cavs in 7.»
The Warriors had swept their first three postseason series, dominated the Cavs for much of the first three games and were 48 minutes away from a title they’ve coveted for a year. Now, Golden State fans are holding their breath.
James said his teammates were upset by comments made by fiery Warriors forward Draymond Green.
Durant, still one win from the coveted championship he left Oklahoma City to get, scored 35 points but got little help from Stephen Curry, who scored 14 on 4-of-13 shooting.
James finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and on one trip threw the ball off the backboard to himself for a dunk.
