The Cleveland Cavaliers are National Basketball Association champions, winning the first championship for the city of Cleveland since 1964.

Cleveland has never won an NBA Championship and LeBron James has promised he’ll bring one to The Land.
For the Warriors, who had a record 73 wins during the 82-game regular season, Sunday’s defeat marked the first time since November 2013 that they have lost three consecutive games.
“Pregame we have breakfast, and then we had a walkthrough in the ballroom, and I went back and took my nap like I always do”, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said with a smile on his face.
A year ago the Warriors beat the Cavs in Cleveland in the sixth game to clinch the championship.
For Kerr, the specific question is can he get through to wingman Harrison Barnes, who has struggled with his shot the last two games and needs to find it quickly in Game 7 or he will be watching a lot of it from the bench (and Kerr’s options to replace him lack Barnes’ versatility). Irving scored 26 points. “We want to get the state of OH a championship”.
Draymond Green had 32 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists for the Warriors, whose bid for back-to-back titles was thwarted.
The Cavs can end Cleveland’s title drought dating to 1964 with a win in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and it seems half of Northeast Ohio will cram into bars, restaurants and Quicken Loans Arena to watch. “The only thing that matters is we have one game left to figure it out”.
The Cavs pulled off the impossible, becoming the first team in NBA history to erase a 3-1 NBA Finals deficit. “It got the best of me, but I’ll be all right for the next game”.
For the third time in 19 weeks, a championship will be decided in the Bay Are when Golden State takes on Cleveland in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Despite every game being won by 10 points for both teams, they each have 610 points through the first six games of the series.
