Led by the incredible Stephen Curry the Warriors beat the Chicago Bulls unbelievable record of 72 wins in the regular season by winning 73 times. That form has continued in the play-offs with two 4-1 wins and a 4-3 before leading 2-0 in the finals via 15 and 23 point margins.
However the dominance switched over in game three of the best of seven series, the first of the ties to be played at the Cav's home the Q Arena, as LeBron and the team ran out 120-90 winners.

The four-time NBA MvP turned in a big performance with 32 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and he shot over 50% having previously scored 23 and 17 points in the first two games respectively.

Curry was happy to admit that he wasn't at his best all night.
The difference between the superstars was so big LeBron even stopped Curry from scoring even after the whistle had gone with this wonderful block:
