The score was tied — "it felt like for three days," J.R. Smith, said — when finally the Warriors got out on a fast break and Andre Iguodala went in for a layup … [...] the rejection with 1:50 left definitely set the Cavaliers on the way to the NBA title Sunday night. James, the Most Valuable Player of the NBA Finals, had a triple double in the Cavs' 93-89 win, but it was his three blocks that loomed large. Especially given how the Warriors had nothing going inside offensively or defensively the last three games, and the 6-foot-8 James was imposing his will. What he's done for them and tried to help build there finally came to fruition. James averaged 36.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, 9,7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks the last three games as Cleveland became the first team to win an NBA title after trailing 3-1. Oh, and James only turned the ball over a total of eight times in the three wins despite having it most of those games. Before he blocked Iguodala's shot, with the Cavaliers down 87-83, James calmly baited center Festus Ezeli into fouling him on a three-point shot, made the free throws, and then buried a 29-footer to put Cleveland up 89-87 with 4:53 left.
