>> mike: curry, 32. thompson, his first 20-point game of the finals. and a three-point record by the team with 17, most threes in a finals game. curry, 7. thompson, 4. cleveland was down by two heading into the fourth. they took a two-point lead in the fourth, and then the golden state defense just shut them down. a smothering defensive performance. james, drives inside. lay-up is good. and now, steve kerr will use a time-out, with 45.7 remaining, and a seven-point game. at what point, with 45 seconds, and out of time-outs, is it a matter, if you don't get a steal, foul, and

what a bounceback performance from golden state. as they will send the cavalier fans home quite sad. an agonizing defeat. eight-point lead in the third, place going crazy. irving, another big game. but golden state turns it around. remember in that western conference final, they were beaten badly two games in a row by okc, blown out. and then turned around, went home, and the huge game six victory on the road. another huge road victory tonight. >> mark: and being down 3-1 to okc, steve kerr doesn't have to preach that the series isn't over. because they just lived it, being down 3-1. >> mike: james, right at thompson. throws it down. thompson quickly
11:49 pm

11:52 pm
in the second half, then the defense kicked in. what did you like from that end of the floor? >> a lot less breakdowns, protecting the three-point line, and just all-around communication, toughness, and effort. we still have to rebound better to close out the series. but we gave ourselves a chance with the effort on both ends. >> doris: the expectation was that you would find your rhythm at some point. what contributed to that? >> my faith in god, my teammates sticking with me. the work is not done. >> doris: what age do we live in when you make more threes an twos in an nba finals game? >> the other team did it a couple times down the stretch. it's part of it, you need to make them, have confidence. everybody making the

they're supposed do. >> doris: thank you, steph. >> thank you. >> doris: mike? >> mike: steve kerr said we can help him get going, but he has to play better. he did tonight. and a golden state win on the road. so, we'll head back to oakland for game five. the warriors with a chance to win their second straight championship on their them floor. they win it, 108-97. from all of us, mike breen saying thanks so much for watching abc, home of the nba finals. ♪ if you a champion show me you a champion ♪ >> the dubs looking for a repeat. going west for game five, y'all.
