What. A. Game.





All the pressure was on. The Golden State Warriors were pursuing history, a chance at becoming the first ever team to achieve the perfect postseason. The Cavs were fighting for their lives to stay alive after going down 0-2.





It was a battle through and through, the likes of which we have yet to see in this Finals, but ultimately, the Warriors came out on top, and we are on the brink of something we've never seen.

The entire game was back and forth, but what really made the difference for the Cavs was an absolutely unreal third quarter from Kyrie Irving, who announced to the Warriors that he is BACK with an unbelievable performance.

​​He just could not miss, and Uncle Drew finally made the appearance that Cavs fans have been waiting for. However, it wasn't enough.





His opposite, Steph Curry, had himself quite the game as well, virtually carrying this team with Klay Thompson while Kevin Durant faded to the background after an incredible first two games.





He was shooting. He was scoring. He was...playing awesome defense?

Yup, Steph was doing it all. But in the end, it was a familiar face coming up clutch.

Kevin Durant, with no regard for the city of Cleveland, just downed the Cavs' hopes of bringing this back and closing the gap. This insane shot capped off a ridiculous 9-0 run in the final moments to give Golden State the game.





The Warriors are a perfect 15-0 in the postseason, and if they can just get one more win in Cleveland, they will make history.





See you Friday for Game 4.
