2018 NBA Finals: Warriors Down Cavs In Cleveland; Golden State One Win Away From NBA Title Repeat

At Cleveland:
NBA: Finals-Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers Kevin Durant (shown here) scored 43 points and grabbed 13 rebounds (while dishing out seven assists) on Wednesday night as the Golden State Warriors, with six players scoring in double figures,  came back from down six points at halftime to outgun the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-102 on the road in the third game of the NBA Finals.

LeBron James scored 33 points, dished out 11 assists, and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers for his NBA Finals record tenth career triple-double.

Kevin Lowe scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the hosts.

The Warriors, who lead the series three games to none, can lock up their second straight NBA title (and third in four years----all as Cleveland's expense) by winning game four on Friday in Cleveland (6:00 PM Pacific, ABC).

No team has ever come back from a three-games-to-none deficit to win an NBA best-of-seven playoff series.
