Cavs 1, Warriors 0. NBA gave a fantastic present to all his fans with an amazing match between the greatest team in this NBA season; Durant's supremacy was the base of the playing way by Warriors, but an unbelievable fourth quarter by Kyrie Irving gave the victory to the Ohio franchise.
Balance in the first halftime with Durant and Love, but James...
The game starts with high rythms but many shooting faults: Durant and Love guide the teams, but "Durantula" is on fire and creates the first gap on 18-14; Cavs stay in the game by the fouls gained by Jefferson, then Frye with a three point shot and Shumpert with two free throws (25-25), but Thompson score 27-25 that ends the first quarter.
Thompson and Frye turn on the second quarter, with the Splash Brother that ignites the rim leading Golden State 40-32; the guests demostrate tactical supremacy in this game phase, but Green shows some problems with his third foul. Liggins, able to limit defensively Curry until that moment, injures and has to leave the court (he will come back in the second halftime) and Chef scores four points straight (50-40); from here Cavs increase defensive intensity and build a 10-0 break, with James guiding the offensive rhythm. Durant's quick shot gives a new advantage to Warriors, but the Chosen One score 55-52 and makes a huge block on Pachulia to close the first halftime.
Durantula supremacy in the second halftime, but Irving, what fortitude and clutch plays!
Durant and James, with Curry and Love partnership, give the go-ahead to an interesting third quarter. Now the game makes higher the rhythm: the King scores three shots from the three-point line in sequence to ignite the Quicken Loans Arena frenzy, but Thompson answer in the same way with three shot from the corner (75-70 with 4:45 to play).
Both teams play in a more intense way on both sides of the court, but Green and two tremendous dunks by the ex-Thunder player build a break, finished by one free throw by James that ends the third quarted (87-80). The n.35 of Warriors carries on his show in the last quarter beginning with a 7-0 break leading for the 94-80 with 9:35 remained, but the game is not finished yet: Irving puts the teams on his shoulders and bring back Cavs in the game until 97-94 with 5:48 to play.
The match is on fire: Uncle Drew with the hook shot against Durant tie the match on 103-103, then serves an assist for the unbelievable dunk by James. Green dunks for the tie, then Curry scores an important three-point shot, but it's Irving time that scores four unbelievable points for the new advantage. There's no foul from Jefferson to Durant in the last action and Cavaliers win 109-108.
