Cleveland Holds Off Warriors, Follows LeBron James To A 2-1 NBA Finals Lead



RadioOnFire.com - The easy script for these suddenly plucky Cleveland Cavaliers continues to roll on. Initially pitched as a star-heavy team full of well-heeled All-Stars, the Cavs are playing their best defense of the season, and they’ve taken a 2-1 advantage in the 2015 NBA Finals. The Cavs downed Golden State 96-91 in Game 3 behind another near-triple-double from LeBron James, and several key plays from the irascible Matthew Dellavedova.

The Cavaliers point guard, only starting because of Kyrie Irving’s season-ending knee injury, made a three-point play with just over 2:30 left to quell a Golden State comeback. Directly following aStephen Curry 3-pointer that cut the Cavaliers' lead to one, Dellavedova hit a crouching, scrambling – cramblin’ – runner in the lane that drew a foul on the NBA's MVP. A series of dives to the floor in pursuit of loose balls in the minutes that followed only added to the legend.
