The Warriors needed to steal Game 4 in Cleveland to even up the series and they did just that, making a statement with a 103-82 victory as 4-point favorites. Golden State had its best shooting performance of the series so far, shooting 46.8% from the field and the team also held the Cavaliers to just 33.0% from the floor. The Warriors’ seven turnovers also helped, as they did not let the Cavaliers get any easy buckets off of bad decisions. Prior to the Cavaliers winning Game 2 in Golden State, the Warriors had won-and-covered in their two previous meetings with Cleveland at Oracle Arena. SF LeBron James is going to have to be at his best if the Cavaliers are going to come away victorious. After being outstanding in the first three games of this series, James struggled in Game 4 and that can’t happen again on Sunday. The Cavaliers enter this game 15-2 ATS after playing four consecutive games as an underdog over the past two seasons. The Warriors, however, are 24-9 ATS after a blowout win by 15 points or more this season. Three straight games played in this series have gone Under the total and Game 1 might have gone Under as well if there was no overtime. PG Kyrie Irving (Knee), PF Kevin Love (Shoulder) and C Anderson Varejao (Achilles) remain out for the Cavaliers. The Warriors enter this one at full strength.
