The Golden State Warriors entered Game 4 of the NBA Finals with one thing in mind… just win. That's exactly what they did as they won a big game in Cleveland 103-82 to get back in the series. Now they're heading back home to Oakland coming off a win and the momentum shifted.
NBA MVP Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala scored 22 points. Lebron James only managed to score 20 points, 21 points under his average this entire series. He couldn't score in the fourth quarter and couldn't do enough to keep the Cavs in the game. Timofey Mozgov led Cleveland with 28 points and Matthew Dellavedova, battling leg crams, had 10.
The Warriors had to win this game since no team who has fallen behind 3-1 in the finals have come back and won. The momentum I believe started in the fourth quarter of Game 3. Even though Golden State fell short, they seemed to get their confidence back. They took it to the Cavs right from the get-go.
Iguodala, who came off the bench the previous three games, started Game 4 and that decision by head coach Steve Kerr paid off. Iguodala made four three-pointers and Curry dropped four as well including the dagger in the fourth quarter.
With the Cavs barely hanging on to any hope for a come back, Steph Curry hit a step-back three that silenced all 20, 562 fans in the Q. Now the scene shifts back to Oracle Arena in Oakland on Sunday night at 8 where the loudest fans in the Western Conference await.
