Durant once again led the charge offensive scoring a team-high 31 points including eight points in the final minute that helped Golden State secure the win. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry had a double-double with 26 points and a game-high 13 rebounds and Klay Thompson continued his offensive resurgence with his first 30-point outing of the playoffs.

All of this helped offset the high rate of production from the Cavaliers' duo. James fell just one assist short of a triple-double as he had a game-high 39 points with 11 rebounds and nine assists. Irving recorded 38 points on 29 shots with 16 points coming in the third quarter.

However, Kevin Love struggled to hold his end of the bargain scoring just nine points on 1-0f-9 shooting from the field including 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. Despite huge performances from James and Irving, it was all silenced after the Warriors completed the impressive comeback in the final minutes of the game.

With Golden State just one win away from earning another NBA title, it could be much more of the same offensive balance in Game 4 on Friday night.
