The Warriors were in this same spot last year and got blown out, but Kyrie Irving isn't around to drop 40 on them like he did in Game 4 last year. Andre Iguodala played 22 minutes in Game 3 and emerged unscathed. Eager to make his mark after missing a lot of time, he'll help Golden State close it out and cover.
The Cavaliers got exactly what they needed in Game 3 of the NBA Finals -- Kevin Love stepped up, and role players such as Rodney Hood and J.R. Smith provided needed contributions. LeBron James recorded a triple-double. And it still wasn't enough against a Warriors club that saw Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have off games. The formula appeared ripe for a Cleveland upset, but Kevin Durant's monster game, along with a handful of key plays from his teammates, showed again just how big the gap is between these two teams. Barring a Golden State no-show in Game 4, the Warriors should again outlast Cleveland and complete the sweep.
