The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, 115-101, in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, forcing Game 7 on Sunday. Cleveland's LeBron James had 41 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds, and his teammate Kyrie Irving scored 23 points. The Cavs are only the third team in NBA Finals history to come back from trailing 3-1 in wins, and no other team has ever come back from such a deficit to win the series.
