So much for the first perfect postseason in NBA history.
So much for sweeping LeBron James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers on their home court.
If the Golden State Warriors are going to win the NBA Finals and reclaim their throne — and make a case for being the greatest team in history — they’ll have to keep the Cavs from coming back down 3-1 — again.
The Cavs scored a Finals-record 86 first-half points Friday night in a 137-116 Game 4 victory, avoiding a sweep and sending the series back to the Bay.
James was asked if the Cavaliers had hit the Warriors with their best shot after a gut-wrenching Game 3 loss, in which the Warriors closed on an 11-0 run.
