Final Score:  Golden State Warriors 91 – 96 Cleveland Cavaliers

They had survived in Oakland California at the Oracle arena, which had become one of the hardest places to win a game this 2014/15 NBA Season and with a 1-1 tie heading back to their own home court, there was no way the Cleveland Cavaliers were going to let their guard down and lose a game against the Warriors in Game 3.

The Cavs came out firing in the early going of the first quarter and punctuated their lead with a LeBron James dunk. Once again the Cavaliers gave the defensive duty of containing Warriors sharpshooter Stephen Curry to Aussie Mathew Dellavedova, and yes he once again performed brilliantly by harassing and slowing the Warriors guard down. The defensive assignments were so well executed by the Cavaliers in the early going that the Warriors could only score 37 points in the entire first half a playoff low. 


Curry however will eventually come loose off of several screens late in the fourth quarter valiantly trying to either tie or outrightly win Game 3 on Cleveland’s home floor, draining 3 pointers after 3 pointers. Having led the Warriors by  20 points, the Cavaliers had to withstand a run the Warriors went on in the 4 quarter, led by Brazil’s Leandro Barbosa; who came off the bench to trigger the Warriors offense out of their funk. The Warriors would pull close enough, with only a 3 point deficit and less than a minute to go to the end of regulation, but with heroics of Aussie hustle man Dellavedova who responded to the Warriors barrage of points the Cavaliers were able to withstand the attack and stave off a loss to win by a score of 91 – 96.

LeBron James came close to a triple double (40 points/8 Assist/ 12 rebounds) but fell short by 2 Assists he however was the high point man of the night again with 40 points, as he led his team to yet another victory.
