CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have their backs against the wall.
Trailing the NBA Finals 0-3 against the Golden State Warriors, Friday night’s game is a must-win for the Cavs.
It would be a historic basketball feat, too, as no team down 0-3 has ever come back to win the championship.
But LeBron James isn’t going down without a fight.
“When I wake up Friday morning I’ll be locked in on the game plan and what needs to be done to help our team win,” James said after Game 3. “That’s just who I am.”
James scored 33 points with 11 assists and 10 rebounds despite the Cavs losing 110-102 in Game 3. His performance toppled a record held by Michael Jordan as James now claims the most ever 30-point postseason games.
“It’s definitely a tough loss,” James continued. “We had our chances, but we have another opportunity on Friday to win on our home floor. We’ve been pretty good throughout the postseason, so that’s a good thing for us that we have an opportunity to extend the series.”
Game 4 takes place at Quicken Loans Arena at 9 p.m. Friday.
