The Cleveland Cavaliers got their must-win Game 3 victory in the NBA Finals, beating the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, 120-90. LeBron James scored 32 points and Kyrie Irving added another 30 to put the Cavs just one game down in the best-of-seven series. Returning to Cleveland after their two losses in the Bay Area seems to have helped the Cavs, and they didn't appear to miss Kevin Love, out of the game after suffering a possible concussion in Game 2. For the Warriors, Steph Curry was kept to 19 points, while Harrison Barnes notched 18 and Klay Thompson, 10. Game 4 is on Friday.
