For the fourth consecutive year, the NBA Finals will comprise of two powerhouses in the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors hold the head-to-head advantage, having captured championships in 2015 and 2017 while the Cavaliers were victorious in 2016 behind a historic comeback after trailing in the series 3-1.
To reach this point was no easy task for either Cleveland or Golden State. The Cavaliers first overcame a 2-0 series deficit, and then a 3-2 deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals against the No. 1 ranked Boston Celtics.
In a win-or-go-home Game 7 on the road, LeBron James dropped 35 points en route to his eighth consecutive NBA Finals appearance.
