NBA Finals 2017: Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers, Game Three

I'm honestly stunned. That game FELT like it was Cleveland's the whole time, even when the Warriors were winning it seemed like Cleveland was playing closer to their ceiling than Golden State...but that's how good this team is. Even when they aren't at their best, they can still pull out a win against a team featuring LeBron James playing at an extremely high level.

This is the best basketball team we've ever seen. And they're one win away from a perfect playoffs run - we'll be back tonight with AFL, NRL and of course, Socceroos action. See you then. 

The visitors scored the last 11 points of the game as the Cavs went ice cold. Cleveland as a team went 12-44 from three, Love and Irving only making 1 of 14 between them. Once again there was minimal bench support and this Golden State juggernaut rolls on, and are one win away from going the entire playoffs undefeated. 

What a stunning turnaround. The Warriors stay perfect after they trailed by seven with just a handful of minutes left. A clutch three by KD with 45 seconds on the clock gave them the lead and this crowd is absolutely stunned. 

Game over and very possibly series over. Iguodala locks him down in the corner, and then James tries to run down the ricochet but it goes out. Curry is fouled with 9.6 seconds left and that's that. 

They take way too long here. They eventually foul Durant with 12 seconds left after a long Irving fadeaway was no good. Durant makes both and the Cavs take their final timeout. Warriors lead 116-113. 

45 seconds to go! Korver misses a three and KD does not at the other end. Wow. 

113-111 with 1:15 to go. No chance there as they get Durant one-on-one with Thompson and it's way too easy for him to create space. 

After that Durant foul there's a TV timeout and Kevin Love will come from the game to be replaced by Tristan Thompson. 

He misses a layup but dives to the floor to get a rebound he had no right to get - they get a fresh 24 but LeBron's shot is off - Durant goes up the other end is fouled. Cavs by four, 1:24 to go. 

JR Smith hits a three and the Cavs look the goods here. A long way to go, though! 

A corner three from Klay and it's 108-107. Ty Lue takes a timeout and we're in for a tense finale. 

The Warriors pull within a score before Curry badly shanks a three and LeBron makes a driving layup at the other end. Golden State turn it over with a Durant offensive foul before James draws contact at the other end - we go to a commercial break with the Cavs still keeping them at arms length. 

LeBron and then Korver make threes to extend the lead ever so slightly. Thompson has the Warriors' four points so far in the quarter. 

Here we go. Cavs by five. 

A pair of Patrick McCaw free throws cut the lead to five. That was Kyrie's quarter and he's now passed LeBron in points with 33 to The King's 32. Obviously with the weapons at Steve Kerr's disposal this is far from over but this is the best basketball we've seen from the Cavs - playing lockdown D and working the ball well in transition. We might have a series! 

Cleveland have exploded here and now have their biggest lead of the series. LeBron throws down a dunk after some great passing before Kyrie makes an impossible finish. Durant is scoreless in the second half and the margin is seven! 

LeBron gets his seventh assist as he kicks it out for Korver to hit a corner three and this has been by far the most competitive quarter of the series. 

Irving picks off a Klay pass, the Cavs transition quickly and LeBron draws a foul as he lays one in. 

Curry drains a three as this contest continues to see-saw. Cleveland take a timeout this time as Kyrie Irving has shot the lights out early on in the third.
