LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers had a chance to use their home-court advantage to open a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA finals, but they blew an early lead and the Golden State Warriors took Game 4, 103-82. James scored 20 points, zero of them in the fourth quarter, while teammate Timofey Mozgov had 28 points and 10 rebounds. Warriors Steph Curry and Andre Iguodala each scored 22.
The series returns to Oakland on Sunday for a crucial Game 5.
