The Golden State Warriors seem to be in complete control of this year's NBA Finals after dominating the Cleveland Cavaliers in each of the first two games.
The Warriors hold a comfortable 2-0 series lead. But they also led the Finals 2-0 last season before blowing a 3-1 lead and allowing Cleveland to win three straight games en route to its first title in franchise history.
As Game 3 approaches this time around, LeBron James and the Cavs have to find answers -- fast.
Kevin Durant has been playing some of the most efficient basketball of his career, while Stephen Curry is making up for his lackluster Finals performance in 2016. They combined to score 66 points in Game 1 and 65 in Game 2. Klay Thompson also joined the fun on Sunday night, climbing out of his shooting slump and dropping 22 of his own.
So what does Cleveland need to do to win on Wednesday night and make this a series? And conversely, what can the Warriors to do take a commanding 3-0 lead? We'll let you do the honors and decide.
Role players typically play better at home, so the Cavs will hope to get more out of Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver, Deron Williams and Iman Shumpert in the next two games. Thompson has eight points in two games, while Smith has just three.
The Cavs' Big Three of LeBron, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are the only Cleveland players to score in double figures so far in the series. The Warriors, on the other hand, had six players reach double figures in Game 2.
Game 3 in Cleveland will take place on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
