5. Cleveland vs. Golden State Warriors

After going down 0-2 to the reigning NBA champions, the Cavs knew they couldn’t afford to lose another game. Game 3 was on June 8, 2016 and it was a fun one. With Love was out because of a concussion, the rest of the players needed to make up the difference. Jefferson started in his place and had a solid game that helped ease the empty space from Love with nine points on 4-of-7 from the field, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals.

The team was carried by the starters as LeBron was the high scorer with 32 points on 14-of-26 shooting and 1-of-2 from three. He added 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks. Kyrie added 30 points (on 12-of-25 shooting), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Smith had 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting (5-of-10 from three), four rebounds, one assist and three steals. Tristan scored 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting and 4-of-5 free throws and grabbed 13 rebounds, as well as dishing out two assists.

The Cavs won the game 120-90 for a 30-point lead and escaped going down 0-3 to the Warriors.
