- 8 years ago
In basketball, history has been made after the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors 93 to 89 in Sunday’s NBA finals.

Cleveland’s Lebron James almost single-handedly helped the Cav’s win their first NBA title following an improbable comeback from 3-1 down in the 7 match series.
No team has ever turned over such a deficit.
The result was a huge disappointment for the Warriors, which had gone into the game looking for their second successive championship.
