'I came back for a reason. I came back to bring a championship to our city.'LeBron James
And with one flick of his wrist, Kyrie Irving not only launched himself into the annals of history, but he also smashed a 52-year curse.
Irving's three-pointer with 53 seconds left lifted the Cavaliers to a 93-89 victory in front of a stunned sellout crowd inside Oracle Arena, ending the city of Cleveland's 52-year championship drought and making the Cavaliers the first team to recover from a three games to one deficit in NBA Finals history. "History was made tonight," Irving said. "This was one for the books. Literally one for the books."
After Steph Curry had missed a pull-up three-pointer with 1 minute 13 seconds remaining, Irving found himself isolated on the right side of the court as the shot clock wound down. Irving, the definition of a tough-shot maker, rose up and drained the three - giving Cleveland the lead for good.
