9:00 – Can the Cavs even the series at two games a piece? Will the Warriors take a commanding 3-1 lead? Or most importantly, will anyone with a fully functioning brain buy those hideous Steph Curry shoes?

9:01 – Kevin Love will return to action tonight, but it will be interesting to see how much he plays.
UPDATE: Kevin Love will come off the bench in Game 4. It is his first time coming off the bench since 2010.

Halftime – Cleveland leads Golden State 55-50 at the half. LeBron only scored 7 points, but he did have 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. This pass was absolutely gorgeous.

Not ideal for the Cavs.
230 teams in NBA playoff history have faced a 3-1 deficit, only 10 have won the series, never in the Finals.

Curry had 36 and Thompson had 25, as the Splash Brothers both had big nights. The Warriors shot just 41% from the floor, but they made 47% from 3-point range.
Irving lead the Cavs with 34 points, while LeBron had 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists. LeBron did have 7 turnovers, though.
The Cavs’ offense couldn’t keep up with Golden State, as they scored just 42 points in the 2nd half. For the game, Cleveland hit 24% from 3-point range and 58% from the free throw line.
Game 5 will take place Monday night in Oakland. Teams that have gone down 3-1 in the Finals are 0-32, but like the great Kevin Garnett once said…
