The Cavaliers won the 2016 edition, when LeBron James led the Cavs back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat Golden State twice in the Oracle Arena to lead Cleveland to its first ever NBA title.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Golden State has yet to lose a game in the post-season. The Warriors are 12-0 in the playoffs and have swept the likes of the Portland Trailblazers, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs to come in against a Cleveland team that has lost just one game in the playoffs themselves. This one has all the makings of a heavyweight bout, a la Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali as this one will undoubtedly be the Thrilla in America.
