Once again, the Warriors have a 3–1 Finals lead
The Cavaliers beat the Warriors 137–116 in the Finals on Friday night, in a bizarre, crazy, dubiously officiated Game 4 that had so many twists and turns that I still don’t have them all straight.
I do know one thing, though. There is one, clear, factual takeaway.
The Warriors have a 3–1 lead in the Finals. Again.
Please not that I'm not making a prediction here (although I did originally predict Cavs in 7). No. This is the story of a meme that wouldn’t die, that quite possibly stood on the verge of death in the form of a Warriors sweep, that was brought back to life by a huge Cleveland win, which will be detailed in many other places on this website.
This may mean nothing. No NBA team has ever come back from a 3–0 Finals deficit. The odds are long.
But, then again...
