SERIES NOTES:
After Game 4: The Golden State Warriors visited and defeated the
Cleveland Cavaliers 103-pts-82 to tie best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff
series 1283 at 2-games-all. When tied 2-games-all in a best-of-7
MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series, the Golden State Warriors have a series
record of 5-4 and a Game 5 record of 5-4, while the Cleveland Cavaliers
have a series record of 5-5 and a Game 5 record of 6-4. Series 1283 Game
4 marks the fourth time in best-of-7 NBA playoff series history, the
first time in such history since series 941 (in the 2005 NBA Preliminary
round by the Boston Celtics against the Indiana Pacers), and the first
time in a best-of-7 NBA Finals series that a team trailing 2-games-1 won
Game 4 on the road by twenty or more points. With their series 1283
Game 4 win, the Golden State Warriors have posted a WLLW @ HHVV win/site
order through the first four games of the 2015 NBA Finals: In the NBA,
teams posting such a win/site order have won seven consecutive series
(the last to do so but lose - the Boston Celtics, in the aforementioned
2005 NBA Preliminary round, against the Indiana Pacers in series 941).
The 2015 Spring best-of-7 playoff season marks the fourth time in six
Spring best-of-7 playoff seasons that both the NBA and NHL Finals are
tied 2-games-all after four games.
