LeBron James Says He Doesn't Regret Passing to Kyle Korver Late in Game 3
As the Cleveland Cavaliers search for answers after the Golden State Warriors finished Game 3 of the 2017 NBA Finals on an 11-0 run in the final three minutes Wednesday, LeBron James wouldn't alter his decision to pass to Kyle Korver for a three-point attempt with less than one minute remaining.
James offered this response when asked if he could redo that particular play, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst:
"If I could have the play over again, I would come off a screen situation. Draymond [Green] would switch on me with five fouls. I would get him leaning. I would drive left. I would see [Durant] step up. I would see Stephen Curry drop on Kevin [Love]. And I would see Kyle Korver in the corner, one of the greatest three-point shooters in this league's history, and give him an opportunity in the short corner. I would do the same exact thing."
On the play, Korver missed his three-point attempt. Kevin Durant grabbed the rebound, dribbled up the court and pulled up to hit a three of his own that gave the Warriors a 114-113 lead with 45 seconds remaining.
The Cavaliers held a six-point lead with 3:08 remaining after JR Smith hit a three-pointer, which would turn out to be their final points of the game.
The Warriors are one win away from capturing their second NBA title in three years and avenging last year's loss in which they blew a 3-1 series lead.
