The Cavs are coming off a 120-90 wire-to-wire victory over the Warriors in Game 3 at The Q, which was their 100th consecutive home sellout (regular and postseason).

In Game 3, Cleveland set franchise highs for a Finals game in points (120), field goals made (48), field goal percentage (.527) and three-point percentage (.480), while tying their marks in three-point field goals made (12) and assists (23).
Over their perfect 8-0 mark at Quicken Loans Arena during the 2016 Playoffs, the Cavs are winning by an average of 22.0 (112.4-90.4) points per game while shooting .500 from the field, including a .458 mark from the three-point line. Cleveland is also averaging 24.3 assists over that stretch.
