CLEVELAND – There has not been a close game in the NBA Finals, with the Warriors winning the first two games by double digits and the Cavaliers taking Game 3 by a wide margin.
That should change Friday night with the arrival of Game 4, always the most important game of any best-of-seven playoff series because the only options are being even, being over or being one game from a conclusion.
The Warriors, with a 2-1 lead, are trying to take command before returning to Oakland for Game 5 on Monday night.
The Cavaliers are trying to remain unbeaten this postseason at Quicken Loans Arena and avoid being in the position where they are one loss away from vacation.
