CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers had their chances in Game 3, and now find themselves in enormous NBA Finals trouble.
Kevin Durant scored a playoff career-high 43 points, including a long clinching 3-pointer, Stephen Curry ended a nightmarish night with five straight to give Golden State the lead for good, and the Warriors took a 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals with a 110-102 victory over Cleveland.
And now expect the focus in Cleveland to shift not to the outcome of this series, but whether these are the last days of LeBron James with the Cavs. Free agency is looming, and an anxious summer likely awaits.
