The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Finals elimination and ended the Golden State Warriors' shot at an unprecedented perfect run through the playoffs with a 137‑116 win this afternoon.
Kyrie Irving scored a game‑high 40 points for the defending champion Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers, who beat the Warriors in a decisive seventh game last year after trailing 3‑1, are now trying to become the first NBA team to rally back from a 3‑0 series deficit.
The top‑seeded Warriors, who had won their first 15 games of the playoffs, will get another chance to close out the series in front of their home fans on Tuesday.
