Golden State Warriors completed their sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-85 in Game 4.

The Warriors proved to be too good for the Cleveland Cavaliers once again. It didn’t help that the Cavs didn’t have it in Game 4. Cleveland shot 34.5% from the field as a team couldn’t get anything going from distance.

LeBron James has been fantastic all series, but he didn’t have his best stuff in Game 4. He finished with 23 points, eight assists, seven boards, and six turnovers.

This was a disappointing series for numerous reasons. The Cavaliers had chances to steal Game 1 and 3, but they couldn’t finish the job. You also wonder how often LeBron would’ve been able to replicate that Game 1 performance had he not injured his shooting hands.

Now the Cavs face an off-season where they need to make drastic changes while dealing with the uncertainty of LeBron’s future.

Here’s what we learned from this one and the playoffs as a whole.
