Final score: Cavaliers 109, Warriors 108
Here’s one for the kids. The Warriors, still reeling from a heartbreaking loss in the NBA Finals, destroyed all parity by signing Kevin Durant, forming one of the greatest starting fives of all time with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green. In this epic rematch, the Warriors led by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter, but the Cavaliers, fueled by the dynamic duo of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, mounted a thrilling comeback. Irving delivered the game-winning dagger, sinking a clutch fadeaway jumper in crunch time.
