Game 4 — Friday June 8, 9:00PM EST at Quicken Loans Arena Cleveland, OH
At Bovada the Warriors are a 6-point road favorite with the total sitting at 215.5
The Warriors lead this series 3-0
After winning Game 3 110-102 in Cleveland, the Golden State Warriors will look for the sweep of the series in Game 4 on Friday night.
In 2016 the Cavs came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Warriors in seven games and no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a NBA playoff series.
In Game 3 the Warriors shot 51.9% from the floor and forced 14 turnovers and they held the Cavs to 43.5% shooting.
Cleveland had a 6-point lead in Game 3 at the half, but were outscored by 14 points in the 2nd half.
Kevin Durant was the big gun for the Warriors, going for 43 points on 15/23 shooting and he also made six of his nine 3-pointers and grabbed 13 rebounds. His big game was needed, as Steph Curry only had 11 points on 3/16 shooting and he missed nine of his 10 3-pointers. While six players for Golden State went for double figures, Durant was the only one who scored more than 11 points.
LeBron James went for 33 points in Game 3 on 13/28 shooting and while he also went for a triple-double with 11 assists and 10 rebounds, he was only 1/6 from 3-pt range. Kevin Love had 20 points and 13 boards and J.R, Smith and Rodney Hood combined for 28 points.

The Cavs had won eight straight home games in these playoffs before losing Game 3 in their house.
Cleveland has dominated the offensive glass in every game in this series, but they are still down 0-3. They have to play better perimeter D on Durant in Game 4 to have any chance to force a Game 5.
The Warriors have won all five of their games facing the Cavs this season.
The Cavs look down and out in this series, but at home in Game 4 they will get some of their pride back. They will play a good game and at least cover the spread getting six points at Bovada, but I think they will also get the W and force a Game 5 as well.
