Cleveland – Breaking down the Cleveland Cavaliers' 96-91 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Quicken Loans Arena.
What happened: LeBron James had 40 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists as the Cavaliers seized control of these NBA Finals in fierce fashion to go up 2-1.
The cocksure Cavaliers are defending in the kind of dominant way that they never did during the regular season, this time holding the Warriors to 40% shooting while making this once-unthinkable upset seem entirely possible. Without injured All-Stars Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, conventional hoops wisdom would tell you that they had no chance against the Warriors team that won a league-best 67 games in the regular season.
