Game 6 Recap: Cavs 113, Raptors 87 (or, Got Your Six)

There’s a saying in the military that goes “got your six,” which essentially means “I’ve got your back.” The idiom originated with World War I fighter pilots referencing the rear of an airplane as the six o’clock position. It’s use continues to perpetuate today not only in the armed forces, but in other close knit brotherhoods like law enforcement and fire departments. Tonight, it rang true for another group of men who persevered to overcome adversity, and worked together to take one step closer to realizing the championship dreams of a team, an organization, a fanbase, a city and an entire region.
