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.
I can't think of a more fitting end to these crazy Finals than such a back and forth game 7.

The Chicago Cubs is the second team in Major League Baseball history to have their entire infield (1st base, 2nd base, shortstop and 3rd base - catcher not included) named as starters for the All-Star game; this feat has only been accomplished previously by the 1963 St. Louis Cardinals. Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitscho 2 has been postponed to October 29, 2016 due to Fury injuring his ankle. Oscar Pistorius, double amputee who ran in the Olympics, has been sentenced to 6 years in jail for murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp
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.
Michael Phelps (USA) has broken a 2,168 record for the most individual wins at the Olympic Games. The previous record was set by Leonidas of Rhodes in 152 BC.
