Golden State, which made an NBA Finals record 17 3-point baskets, seized a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series and can complete consecutive championship runs with a home victory in game five on Monday.

No team down 3-1 has ever rallied to win the NBA Finals and the Cavaliers’ first home playoff loss in nine starts dimmed their hopes of avenging last year’s finals loss to the Warriors and becoming Cleveland’s first sports champion since 1964.

Curry had struggled with shooting rhythm and foul troubles in the first three games but connected on 11-of-25 from the floor, including 7-of-13 3-point attempts and 9-of-10 free throws, and scored 13 points in the decisive fourth quarter.

Klay Thompson added 25 points and Harrison Barnes contributed 14, each hitting four 3-pointers, and Draymond Green grabbed 12 rebounds to spark the Warriors.
