克里夫兰骑士队赢得2016年NBA总冠军

The defending champion Golden State Warriors trying to stave off a stunning upset at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. G-State had a 3-1 lead after the fourth contest of the series, but the Cavs roared back to force a decider behind two straight 41-point performances from LeBron James. And LBJ would be looking to lead the guys from "The Land" to "The Promised Land" as the decisive showdown got underway in Oakland.

The Dubs had never lost three straight games since Steve Kerr took over as coach at the beginning of last season, but LeBron is determined to change that as he looks for some space on the wing, and then takes advantage of a defensive miscue to tie the score at 16 on the emphatic dunk late in the first quarter.

The visitors lead by one when Klay Thompson dishes to Draymond Green for the three from the top of the key, as the champs take the lead. "Do It All Dray" would score a game-high 32.

But James continues to assert himself after half-time, putting Cleveland back on top with the fallaway jumper near the end of the third Q.

It's tied at 89, when Kyrie Irving's trey gives the Cavaliers the lead with 53 seconds to go. Irving getting some separation from Steph Curry, and then pulling the trigger from long range to bring the Cavs closer to an improbable upset and title.

LBJ is fouled with 10.6 seconds left on the clock, and after missing the first free throw, he makes the second. That puts C-Town ahead by four, as LeBron finishes with 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists.

Curry looks to set a miracle finish in motion, but his three-pointer is off the mark. The rebound comes to Maresse Speights, but he misses at the buzzer.

And the Cavaliers erupt into a wild celebration in Oakland, while back in Cleveland the factory is no longer filled with sadness. The Cavs claim their first-ever NBA Championship, as well as their city's first trophy in any sport in 52 years, and James -- who returned to his hometown squad after four years in Miami for exactly this moment -- is named Finals MVP for the third time in his career. But the man fans in Ohio nicknamed "The King" as a teenager, says he's happiest to finally deliver a title to everyone who has supported their local team, in hopes of finally experiencing this moment.
