The Golden State Warriors are 48 minutes away from winning their second championship in three years. Though the goal is in sight, they still have a colossal obstacle in front of them. As exemplified by Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not going down without a fight.
The Cavaliers came out swinging and were connecting. The Warriors couldn’t dodge the blows and they had no counterattack. They were faster and more physical than Golden State.
The Warriors need to establish a physical presence. Winning the battle of the boards should be a priority.
