The NBA Finals are underway as the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors.
If the names sound familiar, there's a reason. This is the fourth year in a row the Cavs and the Warriors will play for the title. Cleveland defeated the Boston Celtics in conference play to earn their way into the finals, while Golden State beat the Houston Rockets to punch their ticket to the championship game.
This is the first time in a major U.S. sport that two teams have met four consecutive years in the championship game.
The @warriors and @cavs will meet in the NBA Finals for the fourth straight season.
