Cavaliers face must-win tie to stay in the running

Cleveland: Defending champion Golden State has seized command of the NBA Finals as the series shifts to Cleveland, where the Cavaliers must continue their home play-off magic to sustain any title hopes. The Warriors, seeking their third crown in four seasons, could complete a sweep in the best-of-seven showdown with road wins on Wednesday and Friday after taking a 2-0 edge with a 122-103 home triumph Sunday.

“I don’t think we’re close to our ceiling, which is good for us,” said Warriors forward Draymond Green. “We can play so much better. We’re going to need that going out on the road.”
