Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Golden State returned home one win from completing its 73-win season with a championship, but Draymond Green was suspended after accumulating playoff flagrant points. Cleveland faced elimination with no precedent for a Finals comeback from 3–1.

  • Golden State led 3–1 and could clinch a second straight title at home.
  • Cleveland needed simultaneous greatness from LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to extend the series.
