The Cleveland Cavaliers beat off NBA finals elimination and ended Golden State’s shot at an unprecedented perfect run with a 137-116 win.
Kyrie Irving scored a game-high 40 points and Lebron James chipped in with 31 as the defending champions pulled to within 3-1 and forced the best-of-seven series back to Oakland.
The Cavaliers, who defeated the Warriors in a decisive seventh game last year after trailing 3-1, are now trying to become the first NBA team to rally back from a 3-0 series deficit.
