The Cavaliers win. The Cleveland drought is over. 93-89.
Also, LeBron James is now #2 on the list of most Finals games while performing a triple-double, with 7. Magic Johnson is #1 with 8.
Cleveland is also the only team to come back from a 3 loss deficit to win the Finals.

Wimbledon.
I love tennis. Always have. I grew up playing it, and was junior champion for a few years at my local club.
I don't get to watch wimbledon every year, but I have been a couple of times with my parents.
My mum always texts me through the major matches to let me know the scores if she knows I'm at work!
Well, this year Andy Murray won. He may not be the most amazing 'sports personality' ever, but he played an amazing tournament and I thought it was a well deserved win. Go the Brits! WOO.

The National Basketball Association is changing the "Hack-a-Shaq" rules starting in the 2016-2017 season. This will change intentional fouling, late in the game, of poor-free-throw shooters. Shaquille O'neal was a terrible free throw shooter and would often be fouled in late game situations in hopes that the defending team could rebound the missed free throw.
