The time is finally here.

After a week-long layoff, the NBA Finals tips on Thursday night when the reigning NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers return to the place they won the title last season at Golden State. Much like last season, the Warriors are heavy favorites to win their second championship in three years. But both teams have been near perfect in the playoffs thus far with a combined 24-1 record.
