Meanwhile, the MVP Stephen Curry has been frustrated to the point of tossing his mouthpiece into the crowd in Game 6, earning an ejection.

“No”, he said, straight-faced. “You can’t ask for much more than that”.
James, the richest U.S. athlete with $77.2 million in revenue past year, sparked the Cavaliers with emotional slam dunks, timely steals, driving lay-ups, aggressive defense and exciting shot blocks, notably rejecting Curry inside late in the game and trash-talking him over his futility.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took another step in their historic comeback attempt with a 115-101 win over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday to force a once-unthinkable decisive seventh game to the NBA Finals. “I mean, I’ve seen him get mad before”. “He’s going to come and give us his best game on Sunday, so am I, so is everybody on their roster”. In fact, only three teams out of 33 have forced an NBA Finals Game 7 after trailing 3-1. I just can’t take people coming at my family for absolutely no reason. “That’s been one of my goals”.
For Cleveland Cavaliers player LeBron James, Game 7 is about staying in the moment. With spot-on passing to 3-point precision and driving, rim-rattling dunks, he made a transformation in a matter of days during these finals to put Cleveland on the cusp of a title at long last.
“He played unbelievable on both ends of the floor”, Cleveland’s J.R. Smith said. No other player in any playoff series of any length in league history has finished as the leader in all five of those statistical categories. Nobody could have done that.
“I don’t really get involved in that”, James said.
Now, James reiterated, what happens next is not all under his control.
If tickets for the game are sold out, fans can also buy tickets through the Warriors official resale marketplace, where tickets are guaranteed the Warriors.
He went on to refer to the Cavs’ 97-92 Game 7 loss to the Boston Celtics in 2008 Eastern Conference semifinals when he scored 45 points, but Paul Pierce had an equally impressive 41 points to help Boston to the win.
In what can best be described as a season saver, Thompson had the best game of his career in Game 6 with 15 points, 16 rebounds, and three assists in 43 clutch minutes as Cleveland evened the series at three games each Thursday night. “I can’t wait”, said Cavs superstar LeBron James, who returned to his home state team two years ago vowing to win a title for the city.
So far, the Warriors haven’t had an answer for James and his talented supporting cast. “They won’t let us in yet”. “LeBron is just LeBron being LeBron”. We missed Boges, but we are still feel very confident that we can win without him.

“The word everyone likes to use in sports is ‘pressure, ‘” James said. I’m not going to do it again.
