There doesn't seem to be anything that rattles them, so it should be no surprise that on the verge of being swept by a Warriors team James called a "juggernaut" and "beast" before the Finals began, Cleveland dug down deep again.
How about the Golden State Warriors superstars?
For one the Warriors have built primarily though the draft.
The Warriors missed four of their first six shots.
Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 40 points. Season ticket holders, priority wait list members and Warriors Insiders will get presale opportunities for Game 7 if there is one. "It will be a massive upset, I think, if they're not there each and every year".
Durant would join the fold in July of 2016 but that's 3/4 of the Warriors core that came directly from the draft.
Warriors Insiders with American Express cards can buy tickets starting at 2 p.m. and Warriors Insiders without an American Express card can start buying tickets at 3 p.m. "They drafted a lot of their guys".
When do they play next?
"Listen, at the end of the day, we want to just try to put ourself in position to play another game, and we did that tonight and hopefully we can do it Monday night where we can come back here", James said. "So that allowed them to go do that".
During a hectic third quarter, where multiple technical fouls were administered to both teams for extra-curricular activities in play and after the whistle, the Cavaliers outscored the Warriors by a point, 29-28, out of the halftime break.
Yes, there are free agents in the fold in Durant most notably and Iguodala and Livingston but those are limited.

Though the president said others, too, were guilty of supporting terrorism, he said he would not name them. Those on the list, including the former interior minister, could not be reached for comment.
When LeBron James' path to the basket was immediately sealed off in one play in the 2nd quarter, he somehow found JR Smith lingering near the half-court circle. "So I'll just leave that at that".
But until the Cavs did it past year, no team had ever rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win the Finals. The one as the best team ever.
"I love the vibe we had in the locker room after the game, understanding what we need to do differently to play better, to have a better first punch in that first six minutes, to play with more force and aggressiveness and physicality", Curry said. "And obviously this team is built to be able to do that with the talent that they have".
"Then go on to the next game", Jefferson said, "and then go on to the next game and see what happens".
"I thought they called it on Draymond. We're going to keep scrapping".
One reason for the Warriors' dominant playoff run was the acquisition of Durant in the offseason. If that means taking a shorter term or less money, KD says he's willing to do so.
The Cavs came out aggressive in a must-win game against the Warriors to stay alive. Unfortunately, nobody told the Browns Powell would be doing that.
James set two other records Friday. Boston's 0 hit all 12 in 2008.
Cleveland Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving speaks to reporters early Saturday, June 10, 2017, in Cleveland after the Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors 137-116 in Game 4 of basketball's NBA Finals. Golden State had hit on 38% of those attempts, which was actually slightly up from the previous rounds. Steph Curry was hesitant with the basketball in his hands and scored just 16 points.
Golden State's usually sharp-shooting offense never found its rhythm and the Cavaliers never took their collective foot off the pedal, leading by as many as 22 points late in the second quarter.
