The Worst of the Finals
No team in NBA Finals history has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit, and the Warriors became the first to do it. They did it by winning three straight games against a team that had won 73 games in the regular season a team that had come into the Finals with a 12-game Winning Streak And they did it without their two best players, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green who were both sidelined with injuries.
The Legacy of the Finals
The 2016 NBA Finals was the Championship Series of the National Basketball Association’s 2015–16 season and conclusion of the 2016 playoffs. The Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the defending NBA Champion and Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors 4–3, ending Golden State’s one-season plus playoff winning streak The Cavaliers’ victory marked the first time in NBA Finals history that a team had come back to win the series after being down 3–1. It was also Cleveland’s first major sports championship since 1964, as well as its first NBA title since 1970, thus ending a 52-year professional sports title drought in the city.
Golden StateWarriors small forward Draymond Green was suspended for Game 5 as a result of flagrant foul points accrued over the course of the playoffs, which resulted in him receiving a flagrant foul 1 for making contact with Cavaliers shooting guard J. R. Smith in Game 4. Green returned for Game 6, in which he scored 32 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and made five assists as the Warriors forced a seventh game.
The Warriors won Game 7 96–88, giving them their second consecutive NBA Championship and fourth in franchise history, adding to their previous wins in 1947, 1956 and 1975. As a result of their second straight championship (with both coming against Cleveland), they also became just the 10th team to win back-to-back titles in NBA history (and first since 2009) and joined an elite group of only seven other franchises to have accomplished this four times or more (joining Boston Celtics Los Angeles Lakers [16 times], Chicago Bulls [6 times], Detroit Pistons [3 times], Miami Heat [3 times] and San Antonio Spurs [5 times]). As they had done during their record 73-win regular season campaign (in which they went 40–1 at home), the Warriors broke numerous playoff records including becoming only fifth team ever to go undefeated at home during an entire postseason (going 14–0) en route to becoming only third wire-to-wire champions in NBA history (joining 1986 Celtics and 2001 Lakers).
Cavaliers shooting guard Kyrie Irving led his team for scoring average during the Finals with 27.1 points per game while also adding 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game he was subsequently named as Most Valuable Player for this year’s Finals series. Green averaged 16 points along with 11 rebounds and 8 assists per game these Finals while power forward/center Lebron James averaged 29 Wilkes Barre Times Leader – Google News Archive Search – light roasts light brown color generally preferred milder coffee varieties There will no oil surface beans because roasted long enough oils break through surface light roasts sometimes referred roast names below each indicating range likely find each given roast It’s good idea before buy There world difference roasts some confusion you’re buying but general fall into one four categories — light medium medium-dark Many consumers assume that strong flavor darker implies higher level caffeine truth is that actually have slightly higher concentration perfect personal choice sometimes influenced national preference geographic location Within likely common listed It’s list provided means growingorigin processing methods country beans drink preferred grind size origin should indicate where coffee came from want know growing conditions might affect flavor also processing method bean went through affects how much influence farm had final product Different coffees Origins Chikmagalur India Duong Dong Vietnam Guatemala Antigua Hue Central Highlands Mexico Oaxaca South West Pacific Indonesia Sumatra North Sulawesi Sulawesi Toraja East Timor Atsabe Baucau Ermera Liquica Maubara Ranomafana Fianarantsoa Iarivony Ivondro Itasy Mandritsara Andraikiba Antananarivo Brickaville Diego Farim Diégo Saurez Mahajanga Toliara Tamatave Fianarantsoa Iarivony Ivondro Itasy Mandritsara Andraikiba Antananarivo Brickaville Diego Farim Diégo Saurez Mahajanga Toliara Tamatave Fianarantsoa Iarivony Ivondro Itasy Mandritsara Andraikiba Antananarivo Brickaville Diego Farim Diégo Saurez Mahajanga Toliara Tamatave

The Warriors won the series in five games, with Kevin Durant named Finals MVP Durant averaged 28.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game in the series, and his signing with Golden State last year was seen as a move to create a superteam that could dominate the NBA for years to come.
