J.R. Smith Drains Back-to-Back Threes, Game 7

Despite a close first quarter into the second quarter, the Warriors started to pull away as halftime neared. They outscored the Cavs 27-19 and went into the locker room with a seven point lead. The Warriors maintained their lead early in the third and it looked like the reigning champs would soon be crowned once again. That is until J.R. Smith stepped up and hit back-to-back threes in a span of just over 30 seconds. He cut the lead from eight points to two and enabled Cleveland to keep its head above water.
