| The Cleveland Cavaliers are the 2016 NBA Finals champions. |
That is what LeBron James said after his Cleveland Cavaliers captured the 2016 NBA championship on Sunday night by defeating the Golden State Warriors 93-89, and when he was asked about how this championship was different than his two with the Miami Heat.
This is the city of Cleveland's first professional sports championship since 1964, when the Cleveland Browns NFL team won the Super Bowl.
James played 46:49 in the game and had 27 points. Kyrie Irving had 26 for the Cavaliers.
For the Warriors, Stephen Curry had 17 points, Klay Thompson had 14, and Draymond Green had 23.
The Cavaliers went undefeated in the first two rounds of the playoffs this season, and did not lose a game until the Eastern Conference Final against the Toronto Raptors.
These two teams met in the NBA Finals last year, with the opposite result, with the Warriors winning the championship.
With 10.6 seconds left in the game, LeBron went for a shot but was taken down, and laid on the court for quite some time before getting off the ground and making one of the two following free throws.
