pride, it comes down to lebron james just not wanting to go out like that... it was the same situation last year ... game 4.. the cavs came out fierce, scoring a record 86 points in the first half to avoid the sweep.. obviously a much different team, for the cavs.. but, the warriors don't expect lebron to just bow out gracefully... they expect a fight...the warriors understand the statistics are in their favor... they are the first team in the nba to take a 3- nothing lead in back to back years.. but if they have learned anything... winning an nba title doesn't come easy... even when you are rolling.. the warriors know in order to wrap this thing up tonight they cannot relex.. draymond green: they've never come back from down 3-0, though, so that really hasn't been done. but like i said, we know. we were here last year. a 3- 0 lead, and we just kind of laid an egg. so we understand that and you learn from it."stephen curry:kind of like we did in game 3, where we know they're going to throw some crazy punches and we've

got to be able to weather the storm and their runs and the crowd and the atmosphere and all that. just try to keep our composure as best we can. whether shots go in or they don't, or calls go your way or they don't, no matter what the score is, you've got to keep fighting, keep playing. because close-out games are the hardest things that you can ever experience in the playoffs. klay thompson:well, anything can happen if you give a team confidence. nothing is ever guaranteed in this league. so might as well leave it all out there on the floor, not think in the back of your mind all we have to do is get one of the next four. no. you have to take it one game at a time. like i said, just play your absolute hardest, exert all the effort you've got, and we should be good.
