Quote:
OAKLAND, Calif. - With 333 of the 336 regulation minutes through seven games of the NBA Finals in the books, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors were tied 699-699.
LeBron James kept the Cavs alive with a late chase-down block and Kyrie Irving put them ahead for good with 3-pointer with 53 seconds left, to vanquish the championship curse of Cleveland once and for all.
James, with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and three blocked shots in playing 47 of 48 minutes led the way. Irving - 26 points and six assists - followed in tandem.
And the Cavs, at long last, were on top of the basketball world. It's a championship 52 years in the making.
