Cleveland (AFP) - LeBron James scored 40 points and gritty Matthew Dellavedova added 20 to lead Cleveland over Golden State 96-91 Tuesday and move the Cavaliers halfway to capturing the NBA Finals.
Cleveland took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven championship series, which continues with game four Thursday in Cleveland. Teams that win game three after splitting the first two take the NBA Finals 84 percent of the time.
