Cavs pushed to brink of elimination after 118-113 loss to Warriors in Game 3

CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were so much better than in the previous two games.

They’re just not good enough to beat what may be one of the NBA’s best teams ever.

The Cavaliers fell into a 3-0 hole in the NBA Finals after the Golden State Warriors pulled out a 118-113 victory on Wednesday night.

Blown off the court in the second halves of the first two games, the Cavaliers surged ahead with a big third quarter and were still ahead with less than 3 minutes to play.

“I’m human, as well as my teammates, and to lay it all on the line like that, you want to come out on the winning side,” Kyrie Irving said.
