OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors will be seeking a measure of revenge against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.
Again.
When the Cavaliers and Warriors meet in a nationally televised contest, it'll be more than just a rematch of the 2016 NBA Finals, won in seven games by Cleveland.
It also will be a rematch of the Christmas Day game, which also was won by the Cavaliers.
The Finals' win required a three-game sweep after trailing 3-1. The December victory came after the Cavaliers trailed by 14 points in the fourth quarter.
