NBA Finals 2017: Warriors vs. Cavaliers Game 4 live stream: Watch online
By Luke Norris
Here’s a quick preview and the when, where and how you can watch Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 2017 NBA Finals are over. Not technically, but does anybody really believe that the Cleveland Cavaliers can beat the Golden State Warriors four times in a row? Honestly, there’s not a lot of people out there right now that believe Lebron & Co. can even beat them once.
Wednesday night’s Game 3 was what everybody wanted from these NBA Finals. The two teams went back and forth, the stars showed out (most of them anyway) and the game came down to the final minutes. Of course, the Cavs would like to have those final minutes back, seeing as they didn’t score over the final three as Golden State reeled off 11 straight points, but they at least proved that they can hang with the Warriors. But it still wasn’t good enough.
In that same three minutes, Kevin Durant once again took control and scored seven of his 31 points and has to be the clear favorite for NBA Finals MVP. He’s averaging 34 points, 10.3 rebounds and six assists, shooting 56.1 percent from the field and 52.4 percent from beyond the arc, and is making clutch shot after clutch shot. He’s also been playing extremely well on the defensive end and is simply making life miserable for Cleveland fans…and the Cavaliers themselves. With Steph Curry having the best NBA Finals of his career and Klay Thompson finding his stroke, the Warriors are one win away from an undefeated postseason and their second NBA Championship in the last three years.
