Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was apparently not happy with the free throw discrepancy during the first half of Game 3. Gilbert tweeted, and then deleted, a picture of the box score, circling the Warriors’ 12-for-13 from the free throw line, and the Cavs 0-for-0.

Interestingly, the Warriors finished with just two more free throws than the Cavaliers by the end of the game, going 17-for-19 from the line, while the Cavs went 13-for-17.
The Cavs have had their fair share of issues with the officials in this series, starting in Game 1 when the blocking foul on Kevin Durant in the final minute was controversially overturned following a video review.
While the free throws ended up evening out, it wasn’t enough for the Cavaliers, who once again fell victim to a Kevin Durant dagger in Game 3. The Cavaliers now must win on Friday to avoid a sweep on their home floor.
