The Cleveland Cavaliers needed a fast start to Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night, and they got one.
The Cavs scored 49 points, a record for any quarter in Finals history. They took a 49-33 lead into the second quarter as they looked to avoid being swept in the series by the Golden State Warriors.
The previous record was 47, set in 1984, by the Los Angeles Lakers against the Boston Celtics in the third quarter.
