5. Limit The Warriors Fastbreak

This leads to the grand conclusion which is limiting the Warriors fastbreak. This is accomplished by doing all of the aforementioned four things in this article—by utilizing LeBron and bigs in the paint to an extreme and roughing up Curry, the Cavs can limit Golden State on the fast break.

The Cavaliers took plenty of three-point jump shots because they were open for the taking. They failed, and shot a horrendous percentage because the Cavs just don’t have consistent three-point shooters. What this resulted in was a lot of long rebounds, which played into the Warriors’ advantage on the fastbreak.

Cleveland played into Golden State’s hands in Game 4. It’s time to make the Warriors play into the Cavaliers’ hands for Game 5.
