LAST TIME OUT
The Warriors fell behind early and never recovered, losing 120-90 to the Cavaliers in Game 3 on Wednesday night. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 19 points, while Harrison Barnes wasn’t far behind with 18 of his own, but it wasn’t nearly enough to overcome a desperate Cleveland squad firing on all cylinders.

STRONG STARTS
At the beginning of the second and fourth quarters of the Warriors’ Game 3 defeat, Golden State was already in quite a deep hole. But at the start of each half – first quarter being obvious – the Dubs were right there with Cleveland. But in each case, the Cavaliers burst out of the gates to great starts; a 9-0 run to begin the game, and a 19-5 drubbing to start the second half. Golden State did a great job in the second quarter, combining efficient offense with swarming defense, to trim what had been a 20-point deficit to just eight points heading into halftime, but their stumble out of the gates in the third quarter erased all the great work that had brought them back into the game. It was expected that the Cavaliers would come out with great energy, trailing 2-0 on their own home floor, and the Warriors simply failed to match that. Golden State will need to do a significantly better job equaling Cleveland’s intensity in Game 4, and a strong start could go a long way towards assisting in that endeavor.

TELLING STAT
When the Warriors commit a lot of turnovers, it certainly doesn’t help their cause, and they look even worse in a defeat. But the fact of the matter is, the Warriors are only averaging 1.7 more turnovers per game in playoff losses than they are in postseason victories, and thus, turnover total isn’t the best indicator of their overall success. What is considerably more telling – and inherently understandable – is their three-point shooting percentage. Golden State is shooting 42.3 percent from beyond the arc in playoff wins, but only 33.0 percent in defeats. They’re accruing about 10.5 more points per game on threes in wins than they are in losses, and that kind of margin can often prove the difference in the ultimate outcome of a game. There also seems to be a mental effect as well; when the Dubs are draining shots from three, they have an extra confidence about them, knowing they’re never totally out of it. The Dubs shot 9-of-33 from three-point land in Game 3, and if the Warriors do end up bouncing back in Game 4, their three-point success is likely to be a large reason why.
