Former Warriors guard: Cavs ‘got lucky' in Game 4 win

Share

After losing the first three games of the NBA Finals, the Cavs played a near perfect Game 4 to avoid being swept and extend the series.

For one former Warriors forward and current NBA free agent, that's the only way the Cavs can beat the Warriors.

"[The Cavs] have to make 25 3's. They have to make 24 or 25 3's. That's how they have to play to have a chance. I was like 'they should be up by 50.' They would be beating any other team in the NBA by 50 the way they played [Friday night]. They scored 80 points in the first half and were still only up by 16 or 17 [Cavs led by 18]," Anthony Morrow said on SiriusXM NBA Radio on Saturday.

And it may not be something that is sustainable in Morrow's eyes.

"Kyrie [Irving] has to have 40, they gotta hit 24-25 3's, they gotta get JR [Smith] getting a few 3's. LeBron [James] is going to be LeBron. That's the kind of performance they have to have with all the firepower Golden State has. Steph [Curry] didn't really play as well as he wanted to, he didn't shoot as well as he wanted to. They got lucky, honestly. Kevin [Durant] did what he was supposed to do. It's going to be hard because Steph is not going to shoot like he did in Game 4, not in Oakland," Morrow said.

Morrow began his NBA career with the Warriors in 2008. This past season, the nine-year veteran started out with Oklahoma City, but was traded midseason to the Chicago Bulls.
