NBA Finals: Top 10 Moments of the Warriors-Cavs Rivalry 

#1 Game 7 of the 2016 Finals

The Cavaliers win a close Game 7 to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship

‘Game 7’ of the 2016 NBA Finals is undoubtedly the best match we have seen these two teams play against each other regarding the situation and with the championship at stake.

The Game stood tied at 89 apiece with just under 2 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter of Game 7 in the 2016 NBA Finals. LeBron provided one of the greatest defensive plays in the history of this great game as he chased down Andre Iguodala on a 2-1 break to block his layup attempt against the backboard.

Although most of the recognition is given to LeBron James for the Cavs win in 2016 for his herculean performance, it was Kyrie Irving who hit a historical stepback three-pointer over the outstretched arm of Steph Curry with less than a minute remaining to give the Cavs 3 points lead.

Even though the Cavs had a three-point lead, there was still enough time for the Warriors to run a play and even the Game especially with Curry and Thompson on the floor. But Kevin Love did a marvellous job of staying in front of Steph Curry as he got switched onto him and never allowed him to get a clear look at the basket.

The Warriors never scored again and the Cavaliers ended up winning the championship. The ‘Big 3’ for the Cavs showed up when it mattered the most and gave us the greatest comeback in the history of this league.
