NBA: Sharp-shooting Cavaliers keep hopes alive in NBA Finals

The Cleveland Cavaliers have revived memories of last year's title run to the title by beating the Golden State Warriors 137-116 in game four of the NBA Finals. 

The Cavaliers went on a record tear in the first half – an 86-point barrage the largest in Finals history – before closing out the match to finally get into the series at 3-1. 

That series scoreline was the same as last year when the LeBron James-led Cavs completed an unprecedented comeback to win the final three games and claim the championship.

And Cavs fans will be hoping lightning to strike twice as James, who again hit a triple-double, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and the supporting cast seemingly couldn’t miss on their home court – especially from beyond the arc. 

The Cavs were a troupe of sharp-shooters as they knocked down a record 24 three-point shots. 

But the highlight of the night was a wicked dunk James hit off his own shot. 

The 32-year-old put up an ugly shot early in the third-quarter but with no Warrior blocking the lane, 'King James' charged in and slammed it home. 

The series now heads to Oakland for game five.
