The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors set NBA records in the first half of Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

In the second half, officials lost control.

Tensions ran high in the third quarter of a must-win game for the Cavaliers, who trailed the Warriors 3-0 in the best-of-seven series.

Here's the rundown: 

-LeBron James and Kevin Durant both drew technical fouls after jawing back and forth.

-Draymond Green appeared to be ejected from the game after picking up his second technical foul -- until we learned a technical foul originally assessed to Green in the first half was actually called on Warriors coach Steve Kerr.

-The Warriors' Zaza Pachulia appeared to punch the Cavaliers' Iman Shumpert below the belt, AND a fan was ejected from the game for jawing at a player.

When all was said and done, the Cavs routed the Warriors 137-116 to force a Game 5 on Monday night on ABC15.
