Before the game

Spoiler-free context

LeBron James had carried an uneven Cleveland roster through two seven-game series to reach a fourth straight Finals against Golden State. The Cavaliers needed a nearly perfect road performance to challenge the heavily favored defending champions.

Game 1 was Cleveland's best chance to steal home court against a Warriors roster featuring four All-Stars.
James was producing one of the strongest individual postseasons of his career after the roster was remade at the trade deadline.
