"They didn't do by luck", the Golden State star said.
"He's risky so we just wanted to limit his shots, take the ball out of his hands", Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. They are one of the best teams this league has seen in a long time, and the Cavs are the clear underdogs. We haven't played great thus far, but there's no pressure on us. They came out there and took it to us.
"No, I feel this is the game we've got to get", he said, "or it's over".
One witnessed Cavs charged up for Game 4, getting involved in some strong physical battles, which helped them emerge victorious. "We didn't give any kind of resistance in that first - I'll call it first three minutes where they just got real comfortable on our miscommunication - we got separated from bodies a little too much and let them toe up on the three-point line".
As for the Warriors, CBS Sports said three things will be key for the confetti to finally come raining down on Monday night at the Oracle Arena.
James has hit 5 of 6 shots in a torrid start for Cleveland.
Curry, Durant and Co. will definitely be more focused tonight, so the Cavs will have to be ready from the opening tip. What Game Four showed, and what the Spurs showed in the first game of the regular season (and the first game of the WCF) is that scoring the ball - whether by playing fast or slow - is the best way to "slow" the Warriors.

The White House has also denied that the President asked Comey for a pledge of loyalty shortly after he took office. Comey reportedly detailed that request, as well as other interactions with the president, in a series of memos.
Not since 1996 had a team up 3-0 failed to sweep in the final.
There will be no need for Green to talk to the fans Monday, not with the game back home at Oracle. There is no room for excuses and a win in Game 5 for Warriors will cap off an incredible Playoffs, where Kevin Durant has excelled in all the departments in the debut season. A year ago they became the first team in National Basketball Association history to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship. He has been the barometer for Cleveland the past two years around the constant greatness from James. The Warriors have championship DNA and we do as well. "Just boxing out. We didn't do as good a job boxing out Thompson last game, and he played a really good game, made a big impact. If we don't stick to that game plan, then we'll be going back home without a game".
Count Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue among those who appreciated the testy nature of Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
"The Playoffs (are) stressful and just the preparation, things of that nature, but that's just from how I prepare", James said.
With 45 seconds remaining in a game the Cavaliers had led by 11 points, a Kevin Durant three-pointer gave the Warriors a seemingly unassailable 3-0 series lead.
For NBA fans unable to catch the Game 5 television coverage, the best alternative is online streaming via the ESPN app, which can be accessed through the following services: DirecTV Now, Sling TV, Hulu Live TV or PlayStation Vue.
"The team that settled in the quickest was going to be successful the quickest as well", Irving said. "If they make tough threes over us when can nearly live with those instead of the stare down, rhythm - you can make a sandwich before someone can out there and you knock it down".
