The Golden State Warriors can win their second consecutive NBA title with a triumph against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals on today, at Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Warriors are going to play without one of their best player Draymond Green for game 5. He has been suspended from game 5 after he was evaluated a flagrant foul 1 by the league for his actions in Game 4.
"The cumulative points system is designed to deter flagrant fouls in our game," NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki Vandeweghe said in a statement. "While Draymond Green's actions in Game 4 do not merit a suspension as a standalone act, the number of flagrant points he has earned triggers a suspension for Game 5."
As per NBAsavant.com's Daren Willman, Golden State hasn't lost three games in a row since 2013. The Western Conference champion Warriors have only lost three home matches all year, and the Cavs must beat them twice at Oracle Arena.
Just 10 teams in NBA history have came back from 3-1 down in the playoffs (counting the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals), however no team returned to win a title in the wake of falling behind 3-1 in the NBA Finals.
