Golden State can become the first NBA team ever to go undefeated in a single four-round playoff run if it beats Cleveland in Game 4 of the Finals on Friday night at Quicken Loans Arena. The previous-best mark was set by the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers, who went 15-1 en route to an NBA Finals win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
