Friday night's record-breaking three-point barrage didn't come without its share of admonishment from Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant, who knows the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ 24 treys didn't come from just an otherworldly shooting display, but plenty of uncharacteristic open looks given throughout Game 4.

Durant wasn't happy with the Warriors' effort at the defensive end — though mired in foul trouble for the better part of the first three quarters, his team repeatedly struggled to defend corner shooters, a problem that proved in a plus-39-point differential in the 137-116 loss.

“You can make a sandwich before somebody even gets out there,” Durant said of the time the Cavaliers had to shoot open threes, according to Janie McCauley of the Associated Press.

While it's unlikely Cleveland would have such an outstanding shooting night, they could very well come close if the Warriors' defense doesn't do its part by closing out on outside threats from the get go.

Three of the Cavs' starting five had five 3-pointers made or more (J.R Smith, five; Kyrie Irving, six; Kevin Love, seven) — combining for a torrid 24-of-45 shooting performance from the great beyond.

Durant knows today's home court advantage means little in relativity to the fighting spirit of a team with championship pedigree that has now been at this very spot for three straight years.

“We know that champions don't die,” Durant said. “They don't just lay down and die.”

The Warriors will take the court tonight hoping to become the first Bay Area team to win a championship at home since the 1974 Oakland Athletics.
