After being handed their worst loss in more than two years Authentic Montae Nicholson Jersey , the Golden State Warriors bounced back to down the Cleveland Cavaliers and move one win shy of completing a dream title run.


NBA Most Valuable Player -Stephen Curry scored 38 points and Klay Thompson added 25 to power Golden State past the hosts 108-97 Friday and grab a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Finals with Game 5 on Monday in California.


For the Cavaliers and star LeBron James, who knows no team has ever recovered from a 3-1 hole to win in the finals, it was a time to search for answers.


""If you don't think we can win Authentic Jonathan Allen Jersey , don't get on the plane,"" Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. ""In the NBA Finals you have got to lay it all on the line.""


Cleveland ripped the -Warriors 120-90 in Game 3 just two nights earlier, but a Golden State team that won an NBA record 73 regular--season games and -battled from a 3-1 deficit to beat the -Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference -Finals was not about to get humiliated again.


""This team has been through a lot together Authentic Ryan Kerrigan Jersey ,"" Golden State forward Draymond Green said. ""This team has great character. No matter what we continue to battle and defend. If we do that, our offense will get going. That's the way we always approach things and it works out for us.""


A tense game turned when -Golden State used a 26-12 run in the third quarter to seize a 79-73 edge. Cleveland answered to regain the lead but Harrison Barnes hit two three--pointers in a 12-1 run that put the -Warriors on top to stay.


""We played physical. That's what was the big difference for us,"" Barnes said. ""Just trying to be aggressive Authentic Jordan Reed Jersey , being able to take those shots whether you make them or miss them.""


James and Green got tangled up with just under three minutes remaining, and as the Warriors forward fell to the floor James stepped over him. The two exchanged words as a heated James had to be held back by teammates.


For James, it came down to -lamenting the fact he only had four free throw chances despite -driving time and again to the basket Authentic Josh Norman Jersey , -referees whistling fouls less than he would have liked.
