Notable statistics:
-The Golden State Warriors have the best record in regular season NBA history (73W-9L)
-The Golden State Warriors coach is Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr played on the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls, who had the previous best NBA regular season record (72W-10W)
-No team in NBA finals history has come from a 3-1 wins deficit to win 3 games straight and win the championship. After game 4, the Cavaliers were in the 3-1 wins position.
-During this season, the Golden State has not lost back-to-back games. They lost game 5. Statistically speaking, they should win the championship tonight and with the return of Draymond Green (suspended game 5) they have a better chance of shutting down Lebron James and Kyrie Irving - reference the next stat
-Lebron James and Kyrie Irving, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, are the only two teammates in NBA history to score 40+ points each in a single NBA finals game; they did this in game 5.
-Stephen Curry, of the Warriors, is the league MVP for the past 2 seasons and the Warriors won the championship title last season. Lebron James is a 4 time MVP, having won the championship is 2 of those seasons - 2012, 2013
As an Ohioan, the state nearly burned down in anger when Lebron left Cleveland. Now, we want him to redeem himself and bring that championship to his home state. Stats be ignored, tensions are high here, and they have been high ever since he was Rookie of the year after the 2003 season and we all had a glimmer of hope that Cleveland could actually pull home the NBA championship with a star player and break the Cleveland curse. 2007, we reached our first NBA Finals. He's back in town, we can do it now. I don't care what the stats say about Golden State's records, there is more anticipation across the entire state than I think people outside Ohio realize.
Come Lebron, Love and Irving. Do it for all of Ohio.
41 points in a single game!
Lebron is going on a full out rampage to bring the Finals to Cleveland. With that, the series is tied 3-3. Final is 115-101 in Cleveland's favor.
