    Facing the juggernaut that has been created in Golden State for many years to come, unless James is meshed with another superstar, Irving’s departure will surely prevent any future championship for “the King.” James has depended on Irving’s clutch shots and ability to score for help during the playoffs. Currently, James is 3-5 all time in the Finals. It’s a pretty shabby record compared to that of Jordan’s 6-0 or even Kobe Bryant’s 5-1.…

    The Golden State Warriors just did what they needed to do, and now they're going home in the same shape as when they left to head to Cleveland — tied in the NBA Finals. Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala scored 22 focuses a piece and the Warriors, demonstrating their profundity and why they were the association's best group all season, squared the finals at 2-2 on Thursday night with a 103-82 triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James scored 20 points — 21 under his average in the series — with 12 rebounds and 8 assists, yet Cleveland's megastar, who played with a cut on his head maintained in the first half, didn't score in the final quarter and couldn't do what was needed for the undermanned Cavaliers. Timofey Mozgov led Cleveland with 28 points and Matthew Dellavedova, again fighting leg cramps after a hospital stay for dehydration, had 10. The Cavs shot only 2 of 18 from the field in the final quarter.…

As usual, the Thunder have been led in scoring by F Kevin Durant (29.3 PPG) and Russell Westbrook (24.3 PPG) for the series, but the difference makers have been centers Steve Adams and Eric Cantor who have dominated inside with a combined 19.0 PPG and 15.6 RPG.
