The difference here, as you"ve heard a few times by now, is Durant. MORE: Durant is still chasing that No. 1 spot, and he"s doing at RS Mobile Gold it his wayHe played the role of the third Splash Brother in this one. Durant knocked down two quick 3-pointers early and finished 4 of 7 from 3-point range. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined to hit 11 of 20 from 3-point range for the game. That started in the first half, when Golden State knocked down 60 percent of its 3-pointers.

Curry hit back-to-back 3s to close out a 10-0 run in the first quarter. Thompson knocked down a pair to end the half for  RSGOLE Trader a 67-61 lead. That impressed Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who made a career out of clutch 3-pointers in the NBA Finals with Chicago and San Antonio. "It was huge for us early in the game because we knew Cleveland was going to bring that force," Kerr said. "We knew the crowd was going to be into it. KD and Klay hit early 3s, Steph hit a couple.

I thought the 3-point shooting was critical just to keep our head above water while we were trying to get some traction in the game." The Warriors weathered the 1-2 punch of James and Kyrie Irving, who scored 39 and 38 points, respectively, and helped Cleveland seize momentum for the first time in the series in the second half. They helped give the Cavs a five-point lead before a timeout at 6:30 in the fourth quarter. Durant then drilled a 28-footer to cut that lead to 104-102.

Thompson did the same a few minutes later to keep that lead at one. Every time the Cavs threatened to pull away in the fourth quarter, Golden State made the big shot when it mattered in the clutch. "The moment never overwhelms any of us, especially K," Curry said. "It was a lot of fun to watch when we were in those possessions, just the patience and composure that we had."
