Stephen Curry and LeBron James will face off in the Finals for the second year in a row, but their teams' circumstances have changed since the last time they met.
The rematch is set. The Golden State Warriors maintained their status as Western Conference champions by defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder in last night’s Game 7. LeBron James clinched his sixth straight Eastern Conference championship last Friday when his Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors. These teams met in last year’s NBA Finals when the Warriors came away with a 4-2 series victory, and they will now meet again just one year later.
