Lol and Lebron loses it for Cleveland! Got away with a blatant ball slamming technical, too!

They always call that, except on Bron, Bron...

Bron Bron and the Caves! (they did cave)

Sounds like a Fred Flintstone musical group....haha😜🏀☘️

Durant looking like a lock for Finals MVP.

Cavs became too predictable, with Irving dominating the ball. Ran out of gas and they had nothing.

Lebron starting to look old?

No GS iust too loaded. Cavs win this game handily last year but Durant was the difference.

I dont think so.

This Warriors team is really unbelievable. Its a credit to James and Irving and Love that the Cavs were even in a position to win the game here.

Edit: had to add props to Love. Hes been really good.

I just saw the stat.

As good as that KD shot was, I didn't even realize that the Cavs were held SCORELESS for 3 minutes in that final stretch.

Championship defense.

Even though I hate both teams, I think now is as good a time as any for this part of my favorite Lebron commercial of all, well, time -

Ideal game for me!

got to watch great player play a great basketball game and it culminated in a Lebron choke!

Wonder if he shows up at all for game 4. Wouldnt be surprised to see him throw in the towel.

@ Beat LA, hilarious GIF, im gonna save that puppy for future trolling!

The Cavs are constantly out scored in the 4th... If they don't beat you in the 1st 3 quarters they'll lose...

Yeah, I thought he was faking an injury there in the 1st quarter and was going to go hide in the locker room  but once again LeBron just playing possum...

Lebron letting Irving dance with the ball at the end of the game is the reason why he's not in the league of the MJ,Bird, and MAgics. Ball should have been in his hand, shoot, or make the play, but not watch and wait.

I think this is actually fair. If Lebron drives and dishes I think he gets unfairly criticized for making great basketball plays at the end of games. However in this instance he should at least touch the ball

I think it was more a matter of the Cavs playing poor offence (and Love going down, which nobody seems to be mentioning) than it was due to the Warriors defence.

You could say that, but the last three Cavs possession were definitely the Warriors defense just holding pat.

The contest and closeout on the Korver three by Steph. Klay basically stonewalling Kyrie. Iggy with the strip.

I agree with Klay playing some really good stifling defence on Kyrie, but the Cavs didn't seem to have any plan down the stretch besides give it to LeBron/Kyrie and get out of the way. That tactic worked a lot better when KLove was out there grabbing offensive boards and getting steals (6 steals for the game!) on the other end.
