We can put him in better position to catch the ball or to handle the ball and to come off screens and that kind of stuff with more space, and we'll do that tomorrow. Then the other side of it is just him playing better, and that's what the Playoffs are about.. Winning in dominant fashion might swing momentum and already shifted perception of the Finals. We're up 2- 1. We're in pretty good shape. We haven't played that well. Let's play better. The shift gets the Cavaliers off the proverbial mat in the Finals, but James said Thursday the mindset better be the same entering Game 4. So it's a do- or- die game for us still. They combined for 6. Wednesday. With forward Kevin Love (concussion) out, Irving penetrated and looked for his own shot more than he did at Golden State in the previous games in this series. He finished with 3. Irving missed the final five games of the 2. NBA Finals against the Warriors.

Curry scored just 4. Thompson, his Splash Brother, drained four as the Warriors took a commanding 3- 1 lead in the series. The Warriors weren't surprised Curry bounced back. He's been under a heavy microscope, and rightfully so. Two- time MVP, you're expected to have a great game in the finals. He struggled the first three, tonight he was our guy.
