Game 7 draws top NBA Finals rating since Michael Jordan’s last title

After storming through the regular season with a record 73 wins from 82 games, the Warriors penned another unwanted mark in the National Basketball Association record books on Sunday when they became the first team to squander a 3-1 Finals lead.

And yet he exhibited forgiveness after the Cavaliers became the first team in Finals history to rally successfully from a 3-1 deficit.

“This is for you, Cleveland”, James shouted into a microphone. “This is special. I kept that positive attitude”.

“So win or lose, you appreciate the stage we were on and just that back and forth that we live for”, said Curry. This is the celebration James promised when he returned to his home state two years ago. And for us to be able to end this, end this drought, our fans deserve it.

The company announced in May that it would be replace the 10-story-tall James banner with a red, white and blue one that says, “This Land is Our Land”. “To continue to be an inspiration to our city means everything”. Much to our disappointment, later that season the Cavs lost to Golden State in the NBA Finals.

Golden State suffered the worst choke in NBA Finals history after the winningest campaign in league history.

The Warriors were almost saved by the aggressive play of All-Star forward Draymond Green, who made six three pointers, electrifying the crowd and helping push the Warriors to a seven point lead at the half. I’m not over the loss. I’ve never had a championship since I was born. “It will sting for a while, but it’s fuel”. And this year, they made it to the NBA Finals again. Cleveland’s tense 93-89 win Sunday night to capture the city’s first title in more than a half-century averaged a 15.7 rating and almost 30.8 million viewers on ABC. Kevin Love was sporting a giant professional wrestling belt.

The Cavaliers’ achievement was of course made all the more remarkable because they were trailing the seven-match series to the Warriors 3-1. The game was all tied up at 89, with just over fourand- a-half minutes to play. “We’ve been waiting years and years for this”. So we had to buckle down. He indicated that there are no surgeries ahead for his ailing knee and said he just needs “to get some rest and recovery for all sorts of body parts”.

After another Cavaliers’ stop, James was fouled by Green as he tried for a clinching slam dunk. Then Curry was smothered on the other side of the court, twice, to prevent the Warriors from shooting their way to another championship. “I’m thankful. I’m truly humbled”. Each team managed its biggest lead in the third quarter, neither ahead by more than eight after six games where the final margin was in double digits.

“It’s not over”, Curry said. They then linked arms and shouted the words to Queen’s “We Are The Champions”, a song that seemed reserved only for others.

The winner-take-all showdown captured the attention of US President Barack Obama, who watched the end on Air Force One after returning from a family trip and tweeted, “What a game and what a series for the cavs”. On Father’s Day, LeBron James, the kid from nearby Akron raised by a single mother, brought the title home.
