The Golden State Warriors are heading into Quicken Loans Arena on Friday night hoping to complete their NBA Finals sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in enemy territory. The Warriors lead the series 3-0, after blowing out the Cavaliers in Games 1 and 2 and deploying an 11-0 run in the final minutes of Game 3 to earn the back-breaking win. The Cavs will look to score a win on their home floor and stay alive in the championship round.
No team in league history has ever recovered from a 3-0 deficit. The Warriors are undefeated so far in the playoffs; if they win Game 4 and complete the sweep, they will be the first team in NBA history to finish the playoffs undefeated.
