CLEVELAND — James Jones, the other player on the Cavaliers who has made five straight trips to the N.B.A. finals, contemplated the value of experience.

“We try not to look at our finals experience as an advantage,” he said. “We just look at it as an opportunity to view the game from a different perspective.”

The view looked pleasant for the Cavaliers ahead of Game 4, set for Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena. With a two-games-to-one lead against the Golden State Warriors, the Cavaliers sounded confident Wednesday even if they looked a tad haggard, as another LeBron James postseason production began to close in on history.

“You guys can see I’m not getting much sleep right now, but I’m O.K. with that,” James said. “I’m O.K. with not sleeping to be able to prepare myself and mentally keep myself intact on what’s the main objective for me right now, and that’s to make sure that my guys are laser sharp.”
