Cavaliers Bring Rain to the Drought in Cleveland: NBA Finals

The 2016 NBA Finals ended with a very tight game. The Cavaliers answered back after having a 3-1 defecit in the series and won the title, becoming the first team to do so. The Cavs, led by Finals MVP LeBron James and coach Tyronn Lue, ended the 52-year "drought" in Cleveland with the win.

The score went back and forth between the two teams. The game was very tight and both teams were playing vigorously to become the World Champions. The Cavs started to lead when Kyrie Irving shot a 3-pointer over Klay Thompson. The Warriors tried to come back by trying 3-pointers and layups, but the organized and well-stratagized Cavs' defense stopped the Warriors from coming back. One key highlight included Kevin Love's defense under the rim, as well as LeBron James's blocks on Stephen Curry as well as Andre Iguadala.

When LeBron James left Miami and returned to his home city in 2014, he made a promise to Cleveland that he will win a championship for the city. In this series, his promise was fulfilled, brining back rain to the drought of Cleveland.
