HOUSTON -- Hell hath no fury like the Golden State Warriors in the third quarter.
And that's a primary reason why we will have Cavaliers-Warriors IV in the NBA Finals.
It's a predictable flurry of punches that opponents are powerless to fend off. The Warriors dominated third quarters all season long and have kicked it into another gear during the playoffs. Yet another third-quarter blitz saved the Warriors' season on Monday night, when Golden State won the West and eliminated the Houston Rockets.
The Warriors rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit en route to a 101-92 win in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.
