Liberty Links: Warriors take commanding 3-0 series lead

After Wednesday night’s 118-113 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors are just one victory away from a clean sweep of the 2017 NBA Playoffs.

Here’s what happened on Wednesday:

Cavs shoot 0-for-8 during Warriors' 11-0 closing run - ESPN’s Brian Windhorst

Overcoming toughest challenge, Warriors one win from perfection - ESPN’s J.A. Adande

The cold facts don't capture the way Durant silenced a sellout crowd that was tantalized by the possibility of the Cavaliers pulling to within a game of tying the series.

The Sixers worked out six players on Wednesday

The group was highlighted by a pair of Oregon Ducks and St. Joe’s Prep’s own Steve Vasturia.

There’s another great commercial featuring Kobe Bryant and Jalen Rose

I think this one is much funnier than the 81 olives bit they released the other day. The commercial aired during Rose’s new scripted show, Jalen vs. Everybody, on ESPN.

Josh Jackson’s agent spoke about the Sixers

Zach Gelb of 920 The Jersey had an extensive conversation with Josh Jackson’s agent, B.J. Armstrong. Among the topics discussed were Jackson’s potential landing in Philadel
