The Golden State Warriors were favored to win the 2015 NBA title based on their regular season record at the start of the Championship Series. However after a difficult win that had to go to overtime in Game 1 and a loss, again in overtime in Game 2, the Warriors lost home court advantage. So when Golden State lost Game 3, the Cavs had a statistically better chance to bring home the 2015 NBA trophy. With a runaway victory in Game 4, the Warriors regained the home court advantage since Games 5 and 7 (if necessary) would be played in Golden State court. Aside from the home court advantage, the Warriors would be facing a decimated, injured and tired Cleveland team. The only factor that can surprise the Warriors would be if the seldom used Cleveland bench is finally utilized and come up with a credible (or spectacular) performance. Of course Lebron James is expected to perform better than his Game 4 output (considering that his first 3 games were outstanding and record-setting).
