Cavaliers force Game 7, beat Warriors 115-101
As the Cavaliers left the court, chants of “One more win!” echoed through the arena.
What would be the storyline in Game 7?
It was Sager’s first NBA Finals in 34 years on the job.
“It’s all good. It just hit me and I was like, ‘Who?” With the Warriors getting no closer than eight points in the fourth, James scored or assisted on 27 straight points.
“We’ve got nothing to lose”, Cavs forward Richard Jefferson said.
“We feel like we could have closed it out a long time ago, but here we are”, Klay Thompson said. We’re going to ride him. James also is trying to capture Cleveland’s first pro sports title since the Browns won the NFL Championship in 1964.
James was unstoppable, dominating play at both ends and finishing with 41 points for the second consecutive game. One game, for history.
There’s no doubt the drama of the NBA’s two biggest stars, Curry and James, and the thrill of a record-setting comeback or a repeat champion has captivated U.S. sports fans at a profitable pace for telecasters.
Curry can lead them to back-to-back championships; Curry is capable of doing that nearly by himself and showed that in moments in Game 6. “We’ll see what happens, it’s going to be a fun one”.
Logic says the Cavs will not win Game 7.
LeBron James was nothing short of devastating, surviving yet another elimination game and willing the Cleveland Cavaliers to Oakland for an epic winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday.
Kerr described the foul calls as “ridiculous” and said officials were fooled by flops, adding, “I’m happy he threw his mouthpiece”.
That’s because history is on the side of the Warriors.
Thursday’s result marked just the third time, in 33 tries, that a team down 3-1 in the Finals rebounded to force a seventh game.
“They’re great at home”, Thompson said.
10 mins til game time and the whole teams families are sitting here on a bus. That’s when the Washington Bullets beat the Seattle Supersonics. It still plays in Washington, but it has changed its nickname from the Bullets to the more politically correct Wizards.
The Cavaliers could become the first team to win the title after trailing 3-1 in the Finals. Unders lead 3-2-1, with the push coming in Game 5 (though that was, to be fair, against the closing line; more bettors cashed with the over, so some people might grade the over/unders at 3-3).
LeBron James, love him or hate him, you’ve got to admire the things he did in the past two games and if the stats being peddled in social media are correct, he’s having quite a two-game swing: 188 touches in Games 4 and 5 and only three turnovers? James, who was in his first season back in Cleveland after four years in Miami, was left to watch another team celebrate on his home floor. He sounds in awe of James.
“Yeah, pretty much because that was our goal from the beginning”, Curry said.
P.S. If you’re both a Game of Thrones and National Basketball Association fan, better get your priorities straight this Monday.
Jefferson didn’t mean those were the exact words of James, but it’s the message he’s been delivering in The Finals.
“Me and Coach Kerr were talking about him in ’97 saying he couldn’t throw a shot into the ocean”, Barnes said. “He embraces it. That shouldn’t go unnoticed”. Where history says the Cavs have nearly no chance of winning. James scored 17 in the fourth before checking out to a thunderous ovation in the final minutes as Cleveland fans chanted, “Cavs in 7!” and “See you Sunday!” “So I’ll play it anywhere”.
