When the schedule makers put an NBA Finals rematch on the Christmas day slate, even they couldn’t have imagined it would shape up to be nearly this compelling.
The Golden State Warriors (27-1) have been transcendent, raising their game to a level the NBA has never seen. The Cleveland Cavaliers (19-7), on the other hand, have been merely fantastic. The Warriors are on top of the West. The Cavs are on top of the East. Steph Curry, who looks to be running away with his second-straight MVP award, has–in the eyes of many–surpassed LeBron James as the most unstoppable player in the NBA.
Storylines are abundant throughout this matchup, and not even Santa himself should stop you from watching.
Here’s a look at everything you need to know to take in the anticipated matchup:
