3. The Power of Three

The Warriors led the league in three-point shooting percentage this season, converting 41.6 percent of their attempts.

That being said, the long ball is one of their greatest strengths and that certainly was the case in Game 4.

Not only did the Warriors set an NBA Finals record with 17 three-pointers, they outscored the Cavaliers by a whopping 51-18 margin. In addition to that, the Warriors became the first team in history to win a Finals game with more three pointers (17) than two-pointers (16).

Now it's official: Warriors just became the first team ever to win a Finals game with more 3PT than 2PT.

Furthermore, the Cavaliers actually out-shot the Warriors 46.9 to 40.7 percent overall. In terms of the three-point shooting, though, the Warriors converted 47 percent of their attempts, while the Cavaliers shot just 24 percent from distance.

In order to put this scenario into its proper perspective, Curry had more three-pointers in this game than the entire Cavs team. Without the ability to create open looks for their shooters, the Cavaliers were no match for the champs in this category.
