Whoever wins Game 4 of the NBA Finals tonight will win the series. Period. After holding on for a 96-91 victory in game 3, the Cavs are suddenly in the drivers seat to bring home the championship. Lebron James scored 40 points, continuing his historic series so far, and just like in game 2, Matthew Dellavedova played fantastic defense that was a prime example of how the game should be played. Tristen Thompson also had 13 rebounds, continuing his fine defensive play that has been evident throughout the playoffs.
For the first time since the series started, I believe that Cleveland's chances of winning the title are very real. Tonight is do-or-die time for Steph Curry and the Warriors. Although Curry played a big role in leading Golden State back from a 20-Point deficit, he also had 6 turnovers, and that is what many people in the press have been talking about instead. If the Warriors want to get back in the series, they will need better play from Curry's supporting cast, as Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes were a combined 2-16 from the field on Tuesday.
In my mind, tonight's game will decided everything. If Golden State wins, the series will be tied at 2, and the series would move back to Oakland, where the Warriors have only lost 4 times all year, and game 7 will also be played there if necessary. If Cleveland wins, they will be up 3-1, and all they would have to do is win 1 of the remaining 3 games in the series.
Buckle up, everybody. This series is going to be fun.
