CLEVELAND (AP) – One victory left for the Golden State Warriors to claim another title.
Not the one as NBA champions. The one as the best team ever.
Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and the rest of the Warriors will be able to make that boast if they win Friday to complete the most impressive postseason run in major sports history.
They moved to the brink of that with a 118-113 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The Warriors are 15-0 and can finish off the NBA’s first perfect postseason with a victory here in Game 4.
Combine that with last year’s 73-win season, and a second title in three years – which could have easily been three consecutive championships – and foundation of the case has been made.
