The Cleveland Cavaliers topped the Golden State Warriors 96–91 in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night to take a two games to one lead in the series. And though a number of Cleveland players had a role in the crucial win, it mainly came down to the team’s Big Three—LeBron James, Tristan Thompson, and Matthew Dellavedova.
That’s right. Cleveland has a new Big Three, and they’re two wins away from bringing the franchise its first-ever title.
Let’s be honest here. At least on offense, Kevin Love is still better than Tristan Thompson and Kyrie Irving is better than Matthew Dellavedova.
But sometimes too many cooks in the kitchen is a bad thing.
To win it takes more than shooting. It takes aggressive defense, it takes rebounding (on both ends), it takes setting screens, and it takes hustling for loose balls.
