The Golden State Warriors banked on an 11-0 run in the final three minutes to score a 118-113 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland.
Kevin Durant scored nine in that run to finish with 31 points while Klay Thompson added 30 as the Warriors now hold a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series and are still unbeaten in these playoffs.
LeBron James had 39 and Kyrie Irving put up 38 for Cleveland, which had a 113-107 lead after a three by JR Smith in the final three minutes.
Durant answered with a layup then hit another jump shot after an empty possession by Cleveland then sank a go-ahead three pointer with around 36 seconds left.
Irving failed in his three-point attempt in the last 25 seconds and Cleveland fouled Durant, who made two freethrows to make it a 116-113 lead.
In Cleveland’s next play, James was defended well off the inbound, as the Warriors forced him into a turnover.
Steph Curry sealed the game with two more freebies.
