In the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors led the championship round 2-games-to-1 over the Cleveland Cavaliers despite not getting good production from Steph Curry.

Two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry delivered the dousing with a game-high 38 points in leading the Golden State Warriors to a 108-97 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. “So I’m a whatever – I think what’s more important is his health, and we hope he’s able to play tonight”. For me as the leader of this team, we’ve just got to get one.
“It’s going to be our biggest game of the year”, Curry said.
“He’s the MVP for a reason”, Kerr said.
The Warriors made an NBA Finals-record 17 3-pointers.
“If we continue to battle and defend, eventually our offence will get going”.
“I don’t know what should happen”. With guys like that, you can’t keep them down forever.
James’ line was impressive: 25 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. Irving, who looked unplayable through the first two games, scored 34 of his points in this contest. But his last seven points came in the final 1:12 and with the game out of reach. He could have gotten exhausted and it could have been fatigue, but in the NBA Finals, you’ve got to lay it all on the line.
For the Cavaliers and star LeBron James, who knows no team has ever recovered from a 3-1 hole to win in the finals, it was a time to search for answers. If they rule the call a Flagrant Foul 2, he’ll be suspended for Game 5 and 6. LeBron was slamming home offensive rebounds and slowing down Green – Golden State’s feisty leader had 9 points and 11 rebounds. Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith each had 10 points, all in the first half. Game 3 and 4, I’ve been put in positions to be successful and our guys have trusted me to be aggressive, whether that be in transition or in the half court. He had 14 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting, to go along with eight rebounds in 40 minutes.
Richard Jefferson started again and Love came off the bench for the first time since 2010, when he played for Minnesota. Two coaching giants were among the courtside celebrities. In a sellout crowd was incoming Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who formerly guided Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
“If you can’t get up for that there’s something wrong with you”, Thompson said.
Orlando in 1994 made Thompson the 27th pick in the draft.
Thompson later spent 10 seasons at UTSA, going 133-178. The fiery power forward leads the team with 36 boards in four games this series; Harrison Barnes is a distant second with 22.
“He could’ve gotten exhausted”, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said, of his standout forward.

The source did not want to be identified because he did not have authority to speak on the matter. As James tried to step over Green, Green appeared to swing his hand up toward James’ groin. “A lot of it is making plays not only for myself but for my teammates”.
