It is interesting to note the following scores during the last three NBA Finals:

Game 1:  CLE – 91       GSW – 113

Game 2:  CLE – 113     GSW – 132

Game 3:  CLE – 113     GSW – 118

It seems that 113 is always on the score card. Could it be in Game 4? Let us hope that the Cavaliers will rebound in their home court again on 9 June 2017 to prolong the game and excitement and could I say, finances?
