The Cleveland Cavaliers are headed back to the NBA finals.
Almost a year after coming up short against the Golden State Warriors for the 2014-15 title, the Cavs defeated the Toronto Raptors in six games to book LeBron James’ remarkable sixth consecutive trip to the finals.
In this year’s quest for the Larry O’Brien Trophy, the Cavs will either get a rematch against the Dubs or a meeting with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who enter Saturday night’s Game 6 with a 3-2 series lead.
Home-court advantage will depend on how the West finals play out. If the Warriors win, they’ll host Games 1 and 2. If the Thunder win, the Cavs will stay at home for the opening two games.
Either way, the finals schedule won’t change. Here’s a complete look:
