LeBron, Durant get into shouting match, receive double technicals

LeBron James recorded a triple-double, Kyrie Irving scored 40 points and Cleveland outperformed the NBA's most electrifying offense in a testy Game 4 filled with technical fouls, beating Golden State 137-116 and ending its flawless postseason.

The three-time NBA Champion said owner Dan Gilbert's letter had a lot to do with his mom and wife both saying to forget that about going back to the Cavs, except they used a different F-word.

There was no whistle on the play, and the Golden State Warriors carried on to a 118-113 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the NBA Finals. Iguodala says the kicking of legs on jump shots happens quite frequently, and he believes it's much ado about nothing. "He's been an awesome player in this league for a long time, and I think he senses this is his time, his moment, his team".

At 15-0 in the playoffs, the Warriors are on the brink of becoming the first National Basketball Association team to charge through the playoffs unbeaten to a title. This is not the first time Magic has shown his appreciation for the man widely regarded as the greatest small forward of all time.

"We both played football". I played against some great teams, but I don't think no team has had this type of firepower. I don't care. I mean, I think it's great. Because, not only is this Warriors team loaded but it also has plenty of experience - good and bad - on the big stage. The Cavs scored the most points in a half and recorded the most made 3s in a half in Finals history (13-for-22).

Curry said the team did not panic, tapping into that experience, even during the fourth quarter stretch when the game seemed to be slipping away. We shared the ball, we moved the ball and defensively we were physical. If that is not happening, they are throwing an assist to their open shooters who are draining three-pointers as easy as a layup these days. It is a cycle that will never stop, they will get better, younger and more talented as they filter through the leagues.

The final three minutes of Game 4 didn't have almost the same drama, as Cleveland put in its subs for garbage time in a game the Cavaliers led by as many as 22 points.

Durant knows what it's like to lose an NBA Finals, falling in 2012 to Miami as James won his first career title.

"I don't want to relax".
