The Spaniard José Manuel Calderón added 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assists in the last three minutes. Kerr's decision to include JaVale McGee as starter took effect and the center responded to the confidence with two dunks in the first minute inside a home dominated by the 15-6 full of intensity and accuracy in the shot (7 / 7). The Cavaliers did not dally, tightened the nuts back and between James, Smith and George Hill cut the euphoria of his rival (21-17) coinciding with the problems of fouls of Durant, who went to the bench in the 8th minute.

James took advantage That absence (26-24) despite the bleeding suffered by his team in the area, where Californians came to register an 11/11 in the shot.
