The Cavaliers are unbeaten at home, winning all seven games they played in the 2016 Playoffs. The team will be riding on that energy in their quest to cut the series deficit to 2-1.
"We feed off each other. We've been great at home," said Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson. "We're excited."
Cleveland's starters Lebron James and Kyrie Irving are expected to be more aggressive and productive in the upcoming match. The two All-Stars each scored 29 points while missing 19 of their total 31 attempts during the Cavs' 110-77 loss in the second game this Sunday.
"If we can score a little bit more, which I believe we will do in Game 3, that will help our defense out a lot, too," James, who is playing for his six straight NBA Finals appearance, said.
The Warriors are on a five-game winning streak after making a historical 3-1 deficit comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Golden State's bench has been doing a tremendous job in the team's victory over the Cavaliers.
The two-time MVP Stephen Curry scored a total of 29 points in the last two matches.
