On Wednesday, NBC Sports Bay Area posted a video of a truck unloading a giant letter "L" into the Quicken Loans Arena prior to Game 3 of the 2018 NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
The video perfectly captured as the giant "L" was being carried into the home arena of the Cavaliers who were down 0-2 in the series. Of course, Twitter had a field day with video, going in on the Cavaliers predicting that L was for them in game 3. Well unfortunately for the Cavs, it was.
The Warriors beat the Cavaliers 110-102, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson actually had bad games with Curry putting up 11 pts (3/16 from the field), 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Thompson put up 10 points (4/12 from the field), 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. The Warriors were saved by a huge night from Kevin Durant who clocked in with 43 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists.
LeBron James was once again the leading scorer for the Cavaliers, notching a triple-double of 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. Kevin Love contributed a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds. The Cavs finally played Rodney Hood who added 15 points (7/11 from the field) and 6 rebounds. Despite James getting some assistance from his teammates this time, it wasn't enough.
Game 4 is on Friday, June 8, also at the Quicken Loans Arena. The Warriors will have a chance to sweep while the Cavs will try to keep their season alive.
