The main reason for the Cavaliers' victory in the first game was Dellavedova's outburst. He scored 10 points in the first quarter. His +1 at the critical moment in the fourth quarter and his grab for the ball at the last moment had a direct impact on the outcome of the game.

The problem for the Warriors is mainly on the offensive end. When the Cavaliers scored in the first quarter, the Warriors' offense was locked up and they couldn't score.
For the Warriors, David Lee was a surprise player in this game. His appearance in the 4th quarter helped the Warriors catch up with the score.

Two days later, on June 11, Game 4 between the Warriors and Cavaliers began at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
To the surprise of many people, the Warriors changed their starting lineup for this game. They took out Bogut, sent Iguodala, and the five dead players started.
The starting lineup for the Cavaliers remains unchanged, with the twin towers composed of Mozgov and TT starting.
The previous three games have proven that when Bogut is on the court, it is very difficult for the Warriors to attack.
The burden of scoring for the Warriors rests on the Splash Brothers. This is something everyone knows, so the Cavaliers focus on guarding the two. Curry and Clay have no chance to make easy shots, and the Cavaliers have twin towers inside.
, it was difficult for Curry to break into the penalty area, so the Warriors' offense was very annoying.
If you want to change this situation, you have to take down Bogut and bring the Cavaliers' inside to the outside, so Cole started with his trump card - death is no small thing.
However, the opening situation was not as the audience imagined, and the warriors who took the lead in making changes fell into a disadvantage.
The Cavaliers won the ball with a jump ball, but James failed to break through. TT succeeded in tipping the frontcourt rebound. Then Curry singled out Dellavedova but failed to score. James failed to break through. Barnes missed an open three-pointer. James hit Green in the low post.

After a 7-0 run, the Warriors were forced to pause.
The Cavaliers' perfect start is due to two factors. One is that they are wary of the Warriors' lineup changes and are well prepared. The other is that the Cavaliers have sufficient physical fitness to start. They are a twin-tower lineup with slow speed and physical fitness is a hidden danger.
If you have sufficient physical fitness, you will have an advantage.
After returning from a timeout, Curry challenged Dellavedova at the top of the arc, dribbling and hitting a three-pointer, breaking the deadlock for the Warriors.

In addition to sending in five dead players, Cole also made a change, which is to increase David Lee's playing time.
